# LEFT ME A FOOL (Emily Saliers) ------------------------------ [Key of E (but actually in F#, so capo up 2 frets] [I'm a little unsure about some of these chords; the songbook has some mistakes, and I compiled these from the guitar part, the piano part, and my ear. Maybe there should be some (9)'s on some of those naked chords, and maybe some of those 6's should be 7's...] E/A B/A Asus A E F#(9) A B Bsus [intro]
E/AEverybody lB/Aoves you, and they E7/Awant to know your stAory E F#(9) A B You go riding out a mystery, concealed in all your glory But when it C#mcomes to flesh and bG#mones, you remAind me of ShallEot B A/B B6 A6/B E - Esus E Only made of shadows, even though you're not
I remember how I spent all my energy and time With affected conversation, trying to pry inside your mind You are as beautiful as truth, and as empty as a shell B A/B B6 A6/B And I came to you one night, and it made me feel like hell
OhG#mhh, to reC#mach through all your sF#murface A/B

-

B G#mJust to fC#mind an empty pF#mool A/B

-

B And to C#msuffer all your prG#mide as I Alay down by your Eside And you B6swallowed up my heA/Bart, and left me a foB6ol A/B E/A B/A A E F#(9) A(9) B Bsus Left me a fool
Everybody loves a hero, an image to create The antithesis of everything inside ourselves we hate But you better close your eyes when it's time for them to die 'Cause you'd hate to think the life you'd built upon them was a lie Ohhh, to reach through all your surface Just to find an empty pool And to suffer all your pride as I lay down by your side And you swallowed up my heart, and left me a fool Left me a fool I resign myself to silence, I will never blow your cover No one ever has to know who the hero took for lover But it comes to mind as you blaze on, as brilliant as a star How many you've left behind, how many casualties there are Ohhh, to reach through all your surface Just to find an empty pool And to suffer all your pride as I lay down by your side And you swallowed up my heart, and left me a fool E/A B/A A E F#(9) A(9) B E. Left me a fool NOTE: These chords are hard. I usually play this song 3 half-steps above the way it's written here (i.e., in the key of G). You can't pick it correctly in G, but the chords are far easier. - Adam Schneider, schneider@pobox.com
