Chord You Were The Fool by Ween

ween - you were the fool from the amazing album 12 golden country greats the song’s signature is the little hammer - ons he hits when playing the E chord . as he strums the E , he does 0h2 hammer - ons on the A , D , and G strings . listen to the song to hear it . when solo , gene sometimes puts a capo on the second fret , but with ween i’m pretty sure he didn’t use the capo . i think it sounds better with the capo on 2 , but that may just be because i have more trouble hitting the hammer - ons with no capo . also , the E is the only chord he plays open , all the others are barre chords . i have simplified those barre chords; there’s probably some 7th stuff happening that i’m not smart enough to figure out . and don’t miss the surprise C chord near the end . * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * E bless the father bless the son E cross your heart ’cause you’re the one A E collecting moonbeams in the morning E E curvy sticks and wooden poles E assisting you in plugging holes A E plug them holes till you see straight through to the mind’s eye E __chorus__ D think about it turn around A and go back to the quiet sound C D of jim and dan prancing ’round the pool E A E you were the fool , and i feel sorry for you E D A you were the fool , but there’s something you can do E __verse__ E you can wash your arm in a pool of mud E you can chop a tree , prevent a flood A E you can speak with a turtle just by flipping him around E E you can build a boat , and sail the sea E you can buy a moat and forge a key A E initiate the sequence , create catastrophe E __chorus__ D think about it turn around A and go back to the quiet sound C D of jim and dan prancing ’round the pool E A E you were the fool , and i feel sorry for you E D A you were the fool , but there’s something you can do E __verse__ E bless the father , bless the son E cross your heart ’cause you’re the one A E collecting moonbeams in the morning E E curvy sticks and wooden poles E assisting you in plugging holes A E plug them holes till you see straight through to the mind’s eye E __chorus__ D think about it turn around A and go back to the quiet sound C D of jim and dan prancing round the pool E A E you were the fool , and i feel sorry for you E D C you were the fool , but there’s something you can do E you were the fool E . . .
