Tuning: E A D G B E

“Caravan of Fools” by John Prine Live on Tiny Desk Concerts (from NPR’s All Songs Considered) Em Am Em B7 Em [Verse]

The ^Emdark and distant drumming The ^Ampounding of the hooves The ^Emsilence of ^B7everything that ^Emmoves ^EmLate at night you’ll see them Decked ^Amout in shiny jewels The ^Emcoming of the ^B7caravan of ^Emfools

[Verse]

Like the ^Emwings of a dove ^Am The waiter's white glove Seems to ^Emshimmer by the ^B7light of the ^Empool Some ^Emdull blinding winter When you ^Amcan't help but lose You're ^Emrunning with the ^B7caravan of ^Emfools

[Chorus]

The ^Emcaravan of fools The ^Amcaravan of fools You’re ^Emrunning with the ^B7caravan of ^Emfools

[Instrumental] Em Am Em B7 Em [Verse]

^EmLove and devotion ^AmDeep as any ocean Don't ^Emplay by ^B7anybody's ^Emrules With your ^Emcarousel of horses And your ^Amunforeseen forces You're ^Emrunning with the ^B7caravan of ^Emfools

[Chorus]

The ^Emcaravan of fools The ^Amcaravan of fools You’re ^Emrunning with the ^B7caravan of ^Emfools

[Instrumental] Em Am Em B7 Em
