Capo 1 
 
        A                 D     A 
All the big fools in town got together  
      A                                D 
Every hopeless loving heart I know was there 
       A                   D           A    
We all sat around and told our own sad stories 
          D           E               A 
Then they made me the big fool of the year 
 
 
        A                      D      A 
Oh they gave to me this little golden statue 
       A                          D 
Of the torch that I carry for you dear 
          A                      D          E     
They said no one else could even come close to me 
         D         E               A   
And that I was the big fool of the year 
 
 
         D                  A  
I'll put my love beside any foolish love in town 
              D                             A             E 
Cause there's none can hold a light to this torch I carry round 
        A                      D      A       
I can't say that I'm too proud of the honor  
    A                            D 
But then I guess I do deserve it dear 
       A                         D       A  
For to love you after all you've made me suffer 
       D            E               A 
Surely makes me the big fool of the year  
 
 
It surely makes me the big fool of the year
