"Company Of Fools"(Doyle/Russell Crowe)
From "Fortune's Favour"(2008)
GBring on the CDlowns
The GJokers and BuffDoons
I’ve had thGe Time of my Life
And the DLife of my Time
In the ACompany of FoDols
DMany a truest word
has been Gspoken by the DJester
GStanding against the Dtide
Is the nAoblest of gestures
Dlittle pearls of wisdom
That Gtumble from the Bmlight
Can make us Glaugh until we cDry
Because we Aknow that they are Dright
WitAhin the strangest people
Truth can Dfind the strangest home
So Emeet me in the village
Where Aall we idiots go (go!)
CHORUS, followed by:
DNa na Gnatineutinee, Bmna na Gnatineutinee
Dna na Gnatineutinee, BmnatineuAtnee Dna (ho!)
I’m wading through the quicksand
In the gardens of the gentry
Blooming vacuity
Leaves mind and pockets empty
Now,In the Social Order
I accept the bottom rung
until the wine is pouring
And the Lord commands a song
So,Meet me at the staff door
When the posers all go home
We’ll gather with the other Fools
And put on a proper show (show!)
CHORUS X2, "na na...", then Bridge:
So Ahere’s to the Poorest Poet
Who Dalways pens the truth
an' the GPlayers Writers,DGypsies an'
The AMinstrels and their Dtunes
I’d ratheAr live an honest lifetime
With Dthose with nothing to lose
Than Gwaste a Dnight
Knee Gdeep in Dshite
That’Gs polisheDd slick
To Glook just Dright
DI’d rather live a lAifetime
In the ACompany of DFools
BREAK: |D G\F#|G A|X4
Within the strangest people
Truth can find the strangest home
So meet me in the village
where all we idiots go
(all we idiots,all we idiots go)
CHORUS (Acapella)
"Na Na..."
Break Chords (double time)
to fade, with ad lib.
