Fools Castle chords by Merle Haggard

Chords with lyrics

C majorC
It's a big house on a hilltop

   FF       C majorC
Fine carpets on the floor


Expensive polished marble

    D7D7       G7G7
Are the steps up to the door

   C majorC
Vines are climbing up to the roof top

       FF            C majorC
As if there's something they'd like to hide

People call it the Fool's Castle

         G7G7     C majorC
And I'm the fool that lives inside


  FF              C majorC
The girl is gone that warmed the castle

              G7G7
Now it's dark the flame has died

    C majorC
It's a big house on a hilltop

    FF        C majorC
Without love and without pride


People call it the Fool's Castle

         G7G7     C majorC
And I'm the fool that lives inside


She used to live here I thought she was lucky

       FF        C majorC
She had what most girls only dream of

I gave her diamonds silk and satin

      D7D7       G7G7
I gave her everything but love

      C majorC
And with my giving I gave her nothing

      FF        C majorC
She wanted only to be by my side


Yes they call it the Fool's Castle

         G7G7     C majorC
And I'm the fool that lives inside


  FF              C majorC
The girl is gone that warmed the castle

              G7G7
Now it's dark the flame has died

    C majorC
It's a big house on a hilltop

    FF        C majorC
Without love and without pride


People call it the Fool's Castle

         G7G7     C majorC
