I Was A Fool To Care
(James Taylor) 1975
[Em7 Gmaj7 A A/B, Em7 Gmaj7 A A#dim7]
I was a fool to care, [Em7 Dmaj7]
I was a fool to care [F#7sus4 F#7 Bm7]
I was a fool to care [Em7 Dmaj7]
but I don't care even if I was a fool [Bm Gmaj7 F#m7 Em7 A4 A]
I'm still in love with you [Dmaj7 F#7sus4 F#7]
Had I listened to the grapevine, [Bm7 Gmaj7 F#m7]
I might have had my doubts [Em7 A4 Dmaj7]
But I did my level best just to block them out [Bm7 Gmaj7 F#m7 Bm7 E7 D/F#]
"Cause love is so unwise and love has no eyes [G A4 A7, D /c# /b /a]
And it took a while for a fool to see [G D]
what his friends were on about [E4 E7]
I was a fool to care [G A D]
I was a fool to care [F#7sus4 F#7 Bm7]
I was a fool to care [Em7 Dmaj7]
but I don't care even if I was a fool [Bm Gmaj7 F#m7 Em7 A4 A]
I'm still in love with you [D Bm]
Imagining your face, [C G]
it almost fills the empty space before me [C Am7 Dmaj7 D]
I can see you eyes and almost hear your lovely lies [C G Fmaj7 Em7 A7]
[F#7sus4 F#7]
I wish I was an old man [Bm7 Gmaj7 F#m7]
and love was through with me [Em7 A4 Dmaj7]
I wish I was a baby on my mama's knee [Bm7 Gmaj7 F#m7 Bm7 E7 D/F#]
I wish I was a freight train moving down the line [G A4 A7, D /c# /b /a]
Just keeping track of time [G D]
without all these memories [Bm E7]
I was a fool to care [G A D]
I was a fool to care [F#7sus4 F#7 Bm7]
I was a fool to care [Em7 Dmaj7 ]
but I don't care even if I was a fool [Bm Gmaj7 F#m7 Em7 A4 A]
I'm still in love with you [D F#7sus4 F#7]
Baby, yes, I am [Bm7 Am7 Gmaj7 ]
I could have opened my eyes, [F#m7 Em7 Gmaj7 A A/B]
I could have seen through your lies [Em7 Gmaj7 A A/B]
I could have stood for no more, [Em7 Gmaj7 A A/B]
I could have walked out the door [Em7 Gmaj7 A F#dim7]
But I was a fool to care, I was a fool to care [Em7 Dmaj7, F#7sus4 F#7 Bm7]
But I was a fool to care, I was a fool to care [Em7 Dmaj7, F#7sus4 F#7 Bm7]
You weren't nothing but a fool to care; just a country fool to care.

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 TAYLOR JAMES 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.
