'Fool Hearted Memory' by George Strait - Guitar Tutorial
Song lyrics:
G Gmaj7 C D
Nickels and dimes, memories and wines - she's on his mind
once again.
G Gmaj7 C D
The same old stool, the same old fool; played by the rules,
but didn't win.
Am D
There's an old love in his heart that he can't lose.
Am D
He tried forgettin', but he knows that it's no use.
Chorus:
G Gmaj7 C
He's got a fool hearted memory.
Am D
It won't let him see that she walked out the door.
G Gmaj7 C
He's got a fool hearted memory,
Cm Am D G
And he sits patiently here every night so it can fool him more.
G Gmaj7 C D
She was his girl, his only whirl, that string of pearls
that slipped away.
G Gmaj7 C D
A thousand dimes, a thousand times - he doesn't mind
what they say.
Am D
He fills the jukebox, and plays the same old song.
Am D
He fills his glass, and then he turns her memory on.
Chorus:
G Gmaj7 C
He's got a fool hearted memory.
Am D
It won't let him see that she walked out the door.
G Gmaj7 C
He's got a fool hearted memory,
Cm Am D G
And he sits patiently here every night so it can fool him more.
G Gmaj7 C
He's got a fool hearted memory.
Am D
It won't let him see that she walked out the door.
G Gmaj7 C
He's got a fool hearted memory,
Cm Am D G
And he sits patiently here every night so it can fool him more.
