Foolkiller

F# minorF#m                   C#Maj7C#maj7
Once there was a boy who left the bed he slept in.
F# minorF#m                  C#Maj7C#maj7
And he ran away 'cause he felt life was cruel.
      D MajorD             B minorBm
A augmentedA killer of fools was walking close behind him.
            F# minorF#m        C# minorC#m  F#F#
The boy was afraid that he'd be thought a fool.

    D MajorD        B minorBm
Oh the foolkiller is a giant they say.
  D MajorD            G+G      D MajorD   D7D7
He chops down a fool and he goes on his wa-ay-ay.
G+G       F# minorF#m  G+G     F# minorF#m
Better runaway boy was a runaway boy.
   G+G  A augmentedA  F# minorF#m
Very much like you.

So he climed the hills and roamed the woods and valleys.
Just get up and go became his golden rule.
A augmentedA killer of fools was walking in the shadows.
The boy was afraid that he'd be thought a fool.

Then there came a day a man and woman found him.
Lovingly they smiled and then they called him son.
No more did he fear that wicked old fool killer.
I know that it's true because I was the one

Oh the foolkiller is a giant they say.
He chops down a fool and he goes on his wa-ay-ay.
Well who was the fool tell me the boy in his bed
Or the boy who used to roam

Runaway boy listen, runaway boy better go on home.
