These Foolish Things chords by Rod Stewart

Guitar chords with lyrics

Verse 1:
F#6     Ebm7               Abm9       Db7
A cigarette that bears a lipstick´s traces,
F#6        Ebm7        Ab9     Db7
An airline ticket to romantic places,
F#9          F#7+5     B6
And still my heart has wings --
Eb7            Ab7      Db7       Abm7    Db7
These foolish things remind me of you.


Verse 2:
F#6     Ebm7               Abm9       Db7
A tinkling piano in the next apartment,
F#6             Ebm7                Ab9           Db7
Those stumblin´ words that told you what my heart meant,
  F#9         F#7+5     B6
A fairground´s faded swings --
Eb7            Ab7      Db7       Abm7    Db7  F7
These foolish things remind me of you.

Bridge:
Bbm7     Ebm6    F9  Bbm               Bbm7
You came,   you saw,     you conquered me;
Db    Bbm7    Ebm7     Ab9
When you did that to me,
   Db7      Edim     Abm7   Db7
I knew somehow this had to be.


Verse 3:
F#6           Ebm7              Abm9     Db7
The winds of March that make my heart a dancer,
F#6              Ebm7      Ab9       Db7
A telephone that rings but who´s to answer?
  F#9         F#7+5      Bmaj7
Oh, how the ghost of you clings --
 Eb7          Ab7       Db7       F    Edim   Abm7   Db7
These foolish things remind me of you.


Instrumental Break:
F#6  Ebm7  Abm9   Db7  F#6 Ebm7  Ab9  Db7 F#9  F#7+5  Bmaj7 Eb7  Ab7  Db7   Abm7  Db7 F7


Bridge:
Bbm7          Ebm6    F9  Bbm              Bbm7
How strange,    how sweet,    to find you still!
Db    Bbm7        Ebm7   Ab9
These things are dear to me;
      Db7      Edim     Abm7   Db7
They seem to bring you near to me.


Verse 4:
F#6           Ebm7            Abm9   Db7
The sigh of midnight trains in empty stations
F#6                    Ebm7       Ab9       Db7
Silk stockings thrown aside, dance in-vi-ta-tions
F#9         F#7+5        Bmaj7
Oh, how the ghost of you clings --
Eb7            Ab7    Db7         F    B    F#
