That Much a Fool Continental Drifters
apparently this band has been around for a while,
but this incarnation includes vickie peterson (from the bangles),
and susan cowsill (yes! from the cowsills!)
anyhoo i think this is right,
i pick or strum, and i don't play accordion, though someone
does on the recording...
a lilting, waltz-like tempo.
listen & you'll get it.
any suggestions, corrections, requests, donations?

That Much a Fool (continental drifters)
Written by Vicki Peterson
Main Vocal: VICKI
capo I
D... E... D... A (waltz-like rhythm)
[A]Remember the summer we [E]sat in the rain
[Bm]Counting the cars on the [D]Southern bound [A]trains
And just for a moment
Our [E]gazes would meet
[Bm]Lips just an instant from k[D]isses so [A]sweet[D] [E] [D] [A]
[A]So what ever happened
[E]You turned away
And [Bm]I never thought of the [D]right thing to [A]say
So many times i have [E]thought of the kiss
[Bm]We never shared
Now you?re [D]telling me [A]this
[D]You could have fooled me
I [A]had no idea
That [E]you were so very in [A]love with me, dear
[D]You did not show it
And [A]now it seems c[F#m]ruel
You could have f[D]ooled me
I?m [E]that much a f[D]ool[A]
[D] [E] [D] [A]
[A]You were a brother, a fr[E]iend, and a man
Who i t[Bm]hought I knew like the [D]back of my [A]hand
Now you?re here waiting
Your e[E]yes wet with tears
Conf[Bm]essing a love after [D]so many [A]years
Well [D]you could have fooled me
I [A]had no idea
[E]You were so very in l[A]ove with me, dear
[D]You did not show it
And [A]now it seems [F#m]cruel
You could have f[D]ooled me
I?m [E]that much a f[D]ool[A]
(solo-- accordion, guitar, etc.)
[D] [A] [E] [A] [D] [A] [F#m] [D] [E] [D] [A]
Well i [F#m]waited
And w[Bm]ondered
What s[D]eems like a lifetime and [A]then
i l[F#m]oved you like a [B7]brother
And c[D]herished you so as a f[E]riend
[A]Remember the winter y[E]ou went away
[Bm]Something inside of me [D]died on that d[A]ay
And now i am married
I [E]play by the rules
I c[Bm]annot go with you
I'm t[D]hat much a f[A]ool
[D]But you could have fooled me
I [A]had no idea
That y[E]ou were so very in [A]love with me, dear
[D]You did not show it
And [A]now it seems c[F#m]ruel
You could [D]have fooled me
I?m [E]that much a f[D]ool[A] [D] [E] [D] [A]
