Only A Fool Would Say That
By Steely Dan (Becker/Fagen)
Off the album "Can't Buy a Thrill"
Transcribed by Joe Hankin (wetzil@hotmail.com)
Intro: Dm7 C/C6 2x
N.C. Dm7
A world become one of salads and sun
C/C6
Only a fool would say that
Dm7
A boy with a plan; a natural man
C/C6
Wearin' a white Stetson hat
Am F
Unhand that gun begone
Em7 Dm7
There's no one to fire upon
Dm7 Am
If he's holding it high, he's telling a lie
(Chorus:)
Dm7
I heard it was you
Am Am/G D/F#
Talkin' 'bout a world where all is free
F
It just couldn't be
C C6
And only a fool would say that
Dm7
The man in the street, draggin' his feet
C/C6
Don't wanna hear the bad news
Dm7
Imagine your face there in his place
C/C6
Standin' inside his brown shoes
Am F
You do his nine to five,
Em7 Dm7
Drag yourself home half-alive
Dm7 Am
And there on the screen, a man with a dream
(Chorus)
E7sus4 E7 Am Am/G Am/F Am/E
Anybody on the street has murder in his eyes
Dm E Am D F C/C6
You'll feel no pain, and you're younger than you realize
Dm7
Only a fool would say that
Am Am/G Am/F Am/E Dm7
Only a foooooooooooooooooool
(Guitar Solo: Dm7 Am7 Em7 Dm7 C6)
Dm7
I heard it was you
Am Am/G D/F#
Talkin' 'bout a world where all is free
F
It just couldn't be
C C6
And only a fool would say that
Dm7
Only a fool would say that
F C6
Only a fool would say that

As you can see, it's really straightforward and has simple chord
changes. And questions, comments or corrections, e-mail me at

pretty simple anyway), but email me with questions.

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official STEELY DAN tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
