[Verse 1]
     D                        
As I write this letter, to you 
 A
darlin'
        G                        D
I can't hold, the teardrops from my 
eyes
                D7           G
For at sundown, I will lay-a-dyin'
       A            A7         D
At the door, of the Fool's Paradise

[Verse 2]
Rode into this cattle town, this 
A
mornin'
        G                         
Left my herd, to check the market 
D
price
               D7              G
And I walked into, the nearest bar 
room
     A              A7         D
They called it: The Fool's Paradise

[Verse 3]
There the crowd was gay and girls 
     A
were dancin'
        G                          
And the men, were playin' cards and
 D
 dice
                               G
So I stepped up to the bar, to join 
them
       A                 A7   
What a grand place, this Fool's 
      D
Paradise

[Verse 4]
       Bm                          
It was then, I showed to them your 
F#
picture
                            Bm     D
I passed it around, once or twice
       G                       
Then a man insulted, your sweet 
   D
honor
       A           A7         D
At the bar, of the Fool's Paradise

So I slapped his face and I told him
A                                 
I say's you eat them words Mister,
    G
 or draw, that's my advice
              D
And he said: "Well, somebody might 
get hurt inside"
                   D7            
"But I'll be glad, to meet you in 
                  G
the street at sundown"
       A                     A7   
"At sundown, in front of the 
      D
Fool's Paradise

[Verse 5]
                               A
So goodbye my darlin', may God bless
 you
  G                     D
I go, to make this sacrifice
                D7              
And if ever you visit, old Dodge 
 G
City
  A           A7         D
Remember, the Fool's Paradise
