Fooled Around And Fell In Love
Elvin Bishop
from 1977 "Raisin' Hell"
I (G)must have been through about a (Bm)million girls
(F)I'd love 'em then I'd leave 'em a(C)lone
(G)I didn't care how much they (Bm)cried, no sir
(F)Their tears left me cold as a (C)stone
But then I (G)fooled around and fell in (Bm)love
I (F)fooled around and fell in (C)love, yes I did
I (G)fooled around and fell in (Bm)love
I (F)fooled around and fell in (C)love
It used to be when I'd see a girl that I liked
I'd get out my book and write down her name
Ah, but when the, the grass got a little greener over on the other side
I'd just tear out that page
I fooled around and fell in love
I fooled around and fell in love, since I met you baby
I fooled around and fell in love
I fooled around and fell in love
Chords leading into lead break (around vocal"ah's") are
(D)-(C)
Am-AmMaj7-Am7-Am6
Am-AmMaj7-Am7-D
------ guitar solo ------
Free, on my own is the way I used to be
Ah, but since I met you baby, love's got a hold on me
It's got a hold on me now
I can't let go of you baby
I fooled around and fell in love
I fooled around and fell in love, oh yes I did
I fooled around, fooled around, fooled around, fooled around,
fooled around, fooled around, fell in love
Fooled around, fooled around, fooled around, fooled around,
fooled around, fooled around, fell in love
I fooled around, fell in love
I fell in love, I fell in love, yes I did
