🎸 Verse 1:

        A augmentedA                   D MajorD
Well now you've all been asked foolish questions and I think that you all know
      A augmentedA              E MajorE
That you're bound to run into them most, most anywhere you go
    A augmentedA                 D MajorD
And you all know the story of the man you meet on the way
        A augmentedA                    E MajorE
You say to him, hey how's Trix and you'll listen to him while he say
     A augmentedA              D MajorD
Say he's just been to the funeral of poor old uncle Ned
    A augmentedA                N.C.
And the next question he's gonna ask is, is Ned dead?

🎸 Chorus:

    A augmentedA               D MajorD
Foolish questions, you might as well reply
          D MajorD         A augmentedA           E MajorE
No Ned thought he'd have a funeral and later on some time he die
          A augmentedA               E MajorE
You know he is so original that he wanted it that way
    A augmentedA                 E MajorE
Foolish questions, you'll hear them every day

A augmentedA                 D MajorD
Then there's the woman that always gives your phone a ring
A augmentedA                E MajorE
She'll talk for two hours about anything
A augmentedA                E MajorE
Especially her bad kin folk goin ruining everything
A augmentedA             D MajorD         A augmentedA
You sit there half asleep, brewing, stewing, she says finally
N.C.
Hey, whatcha doin?

Foolish questions, you oughta tell her that you're gone

Just about an hour ago I thought I heard the phone
  A augmentedA                       D MajorD

Silly questions get a silly answer every time

Then you just get outta the hospital after about a three month stay
  A augmentedA                  E MajorE
Had every bone in you broken, and you're tryin to make your way
  A augmentedA                     D MajorD
An old friend steps right up to you and says, hey how's Trix?

You've been in the hospital three long months and he says, hey, you been sick?

Foolish questions get a silly answer every time


🎸 Verse 4:

     A augmentedA               D MajorD
Well you step into an elevator and you open up the door
  A augmentedA                 E MajorE
You walk right into the shaft and fall down forty floors
  A augmentedA                 D MajorD
And when you hit the bottom and you're laying there in the dirt
  A augmentedA                        N.C.
The first person that's gonna come along gonna say, you hurt?


🎸 Chorus:

    A augmentedA                D MajorD
Foolish questions, your dying words are no
         D MajorD       A augmentedA         E MajorE
I was kinda in a hurry and well the elevator's too slow
        A augmentedA         E MajorE
I find a save a lot of time, comin down that way
    A augmentedA                   E MajorE
Foolish questions, yeah you'll hear them everyday
