Certain Kind Of Fool (Randy Meisner, Glenn Frey & Don Henley)
From "DESPERADO". 1973.

INTRO:
Dsus4 D - Dsus4 D Asus4 A Asus4 A (2 times)

     Dsus4          D      Dsus4              D           Asus4         A      Asus4  
He was a poor boy, raised in a small family           

   A             Dsus4        D     Dsus4                  D                Asus4         A     Asus4  
He kind of had a craving for something no one else could see         

  A                   Dsus4       D     Dsus4                   D        Asus4          A     Asus4  
They said that he was crazy, the kind that no lady should meet     

 A              Dsus4        D     Dsus4                D            Asus4           A      Asus4         A  
He ran off to the city, and wandered around in the street                


      Dsus4        E5       E     A/E      E    E5     E        
He wants to dance,              oh yeah!

A/E           E    E5      E    A/E      E    E5     E        
He wants to sing,              oh yeah!

 A/E          G                               D                        Asus4           A  
He wants to see the lights aflashing, and listen to the thundering      


                Dsus4       D      Dsus4             D            Asus4          A      Asus4  
He saw it in a win___dow, a mark of a new kind of man          

 A               Dsus4            D     Dsus4           D              Asus4          A      Asus4  
He kind of liked the feeling, so shiny smooth in his hand         

 A                C       G        C                  G              D         A  
He took it to the country, and practised for days without rest    

                 Dsus4         D     Dsus4                   D               Asus4        A    Asus4        A  
And then one day he felt it, he knew he could stand with the best            


          E5         E    A/E      E    E5     E        
They got respect,             oh yeah!

 A/E            E     E5     E    A/E      E    E5     E        
He wants the same,              oh yeah!

 A/E          G                                   D                             Asus4         A  
And it's a certain kind of fool who likes to hear the sound of his own name

A poster on a store front, a picture of a wanted man

He had a reputation, spreading like fire through the land

              Dsus4                                              D      A  
It wasn't for the money, at least it didn't start that way     

                  Dsus4       D    Dsus4                        D    Asus4           A7  
It wasn't for the running, but now he's running ev'ryday.
