Chords with lyrics
King of Fools - Dwight Yoakam
from the album This Time
Intro: / E7E7 E7E7 / A augmentedA A augmentedA /
E7E7 E7E7
As you look into my eyes and tell those empty lies
A augmentedA A augmentedA
I'll pretend they're true, 'cause that's what I do
E7E7 E7E7
As you sit and hold my hand and smile at other men
A augmentedA A augmentedA
I'll pretend I'm blind, 'cause I'm just that kind
C#C# F# minorF#m
I'm the king of fools and I'll always reign
BB E7E7
Over loneliness and pain
C#C# F# minorF#m
The king of fools wears his crown
BB E7E7
Wherever misery can be found
Repeat Intro: / E7E7 E7E7 / A augmentedA A augmentedA /
C#C# F# minorF#m
I'm the king of fools and I'll always reign
BB E7E7
Over loneliness and pain
C#C# F# minorF#m
The king of fools wears his crown
BB E7E7
Wherever misery can be found
E7E7 E7E7
As you walk away with him and I lose in love again
A augmentedA A augmentedA
I'll pretend to see, that you're still with me
E7E7 E7E7
But I'll be there all alone, like a king upon a throne
E7E7 A augmentedA
'Cause I'm the king of fools
E7E7 A augmentedA
Yes, I'm the king of fools

This may be easier to play if you transpose down two half-steps and use capo 2, so A augmentedA is now G+G at capo 2, etc.
