I was a
[C]fool to take your [E]heart
I was a [F]fool to want more than a [G]part
I was a [C]fool to be led [E]on
I should have [F]known when I sang you my [G]song
(Palm Muted)
And I was a [C]fool when I tripped on your [E]crown
(You ran) into the [F]woods, I hunted you [G]down
I was a [C]foo-ool oo-oo-ooo-ool on my [D]own
Sticky with [G]blood now, in [F#]my mountain [G]home[D]
(Play Intro)
I was a [C]fool when I carried your [E]corpse
Wet with my [F]tears now, placed upon my [G]horse
I was [C]fool without any [E]course
If I couldn't [F]love you, I'd take something of [G]yours
(Palm Muted)
I was a [C]fool when I took out my [E]knives
I did as the queen [F]asked, but I kept the [G]prize
I was a [C]foo-ool oo-oo-ooo-ool on my [D]own
Sticky with [G]blood now, in [F#]my mountain [G]home[D]

I was a [C]fool for 40 [E]years
I hid in my [F]home and was haunted with [G]fear
Each little [C]shadow or deer in the [E]woods
Made my poor [F]heart race as fast as it [G]could
(Palm Muted)
I took out your [C]heart when things got [E]hard
The country got [F]quiet so I let down my [G]guard
But the queen had a [C]witch who had sent her through [E]time
She came in the [F]night and she took out my [G]eyes
I was a [C]foo-ool oo-oo-ooo-ool on my [D]own
Sticky with [G]blood now, in [F#]my mountain [G]home [D]
I was a [C]foo-ool oo-oo-ooo-ool on my [D]own
