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.

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#
