Ricky Nelson

Intro C majorC A minorAm FF G+G C majorC A minorAm FF G7G7

 C majorC       A minorAm
I used to play around with hearts
   FF       G+G
that hastened at my call
  C majorC        A minorAm
But when I met that little girl

  C majorC         A minorAm
She played around and teased me
     FF       G+G
with her carefree devil eyes
   C majorC         A minorAm
She`d hold me close and kiss me
    FF         G+G
but her heart was full of lies
      C majorC
Poor little fool

She told me how she cared for me
  FF        G+G
and that we`d never part
  C majorC        A minorAm
And so for the very first time
 FF      G+G
I gave away my heart
      C majorC
Poor little fool

  C majorC        A minorAm
The next day she was gone and I
FF         G+G
knew she`d lied to me
  C majorC       A minorAm
She left me with a broken heart
  FF      G7G7
and won her victory
      C majorC
Poor little fool
  A minorAm  F6F6
oh yeah
    G7G7   C majorC
I was a fool uh huh
    A minorAm
(Uh huh Poor little fool
FF        G+G
I was a fool oh yeah)

     C majorC           A minorAm
Well I`d played this game with other hearts
   FF         G+G
but I never thought I`d see
  C majorC        A minorAm
The day when someone else would play
    FF         G+G
love`s foolish game with me
       C majorC
Poor little fool
  A minorAm  F6F6
oh yeah
    G7G7   C majorC
I was a fool uh huh
    A minorAm
(Uh huh Poor little fool

Poor Little Fool chords

Poor Little Fool is a rock and roll song written by Sharon Sheeley and first recorded by Ricky Nelson in 1958. Sheeley wrote the song when she was fifteen years old. She had met Elvis Presley, and he encouraged her to write. It was based on her disappointment following a short-lived relationship with a member of a popular singing duo. Sheeley sought Ricky Nelson to record the tune. She drove to his house, and claimed her car had broken down. He came to her aid, and she sprang the song on him. Her version was at a much faster tempo than his recording. The song was recorded by Ricky Nelson on April 17, 1958, and released on Imperial Records. It was the first number-one song on Billboard magazines then-new Hot 100 chart, replacing the magazines Jockeys and Top 100 charts. It spent two weeks at the number-one spot. It also reached the top ten on the Billboard Country and Rhythm and Blues charts.
