The Fool

Intro

Em A D G

Em               A  D              G
Down the centuries, I was at their side
Em     A       D             G
With a song to glorify their genocide’s
Em     A           D                   G
Always knowing but never appearing too wise
Em           A        D          G
Always had a rhyme to hide their lies

Em      A   C
Here I am - just for you
Continues after the ad
Em      A   C
Here I am - here stands the fool

Em          A        D     G
I plot with pretenders and princes,
Em         A      D           G
And I will shed a tear on the loser's grave
Em        A         D    G
And some advice for you, if I may
Em            A     D    G
It's better a knave than a slave

Em      A    C
Here am I - just for you
Em      A    C
Here am I - here stands the fool

Em A        D   G
To conspire and devour
Em               A           D        G
That's how these empires are lost and won
Em            A         D            G
I bow my head humbly to mistress and sire
Em                  A              D             G
And I will still be alive with the rising of the sun
