"Fool For You"
(Curtis Mayfield)
Note from AWR: Curtis Mayfield played guitar in an open F# tuning (low to
(high: F#-A#-C#-F#-A#-F# - basically the open-position G chord, down A
semitone) but this is one of the few Impressions songs actually in F#
(cf. "Meeting Over Yonder"); they usually favored the related keys of
C# or B. Oh, yes, the time signature is 9/8.
Intro:
(3 drumbeats)
horns [4X]:
F# E B
/ / / / / / / / /
Verse 1 (guitar plays octave F# throughout):
F# E B
Never liked nobody
F# E B
That's been mean to me
F# E B
I've got a heart full of stone
F# E B
And I hate the misery
F# E B
Then you came along
F# E B
Into my life
F# E B
Destroying my mind
F# E B
Mounting up the toil and strife
Chorus:
B D#m/A#
But I'm a fool for you
G#m
I'm a fool for you
B D#m/A#
But I'm a fool for you
G#m
I'm a fool for you
Post-chorus 1:
E/B B
Guess I'll always be
D/A A
And I claim it famously
F# E B F# E B
'Cause I'm a fool for you
Verse 2:
It's a doggone shame
Knowin' you don't love me
You go on and use me
So continuously
I don't know why
I love you like I do
When you're breaking my heart
And you know it's true
[repeat chorus]
Post-chorus 2:
Doggin' me every day
But child, I'm here to stay
'Cause I'm a fool for you
Horn break [2X]:

I'm a fool for you [fade]
