Ween - You Were the Fool From the amazing album 12 Golden Country Greats The song's signature is the little hammer-ons he hits when playing the E chord. As he strums the E, he does 0h2 hammer-ons on the A, D, and G strings. Listen to the song to hear it. When solo, Gene sometimes puts a capo on the second fret, but with Ween I'm pretty sure he didn't use the capo. I think it sounds better with the capo on 2, but that may just be because I have more trouble hitting the hammer-ons with no capo. Also, the E is the only chord he plays open, all the others are barre chords. I have simplified those barre chords; there's probably some 7th stuff happening that I'm not smart enough to figure out. And don't miss the surprise C chord near the end. *******

^EBless the father bless the son ^ECross your heart 'cause you're the one

Coll^Aecting moonbeams in the ^Emorning

(E)

^ECurvy sticks and wooden poles ^EAssisting you in plugging holes

^APlug them holes till you see straight ^Ethrough to the mind's eye (E)

__Chorus__

^DThink about it turn around ^AAnd go back to the quiet sound

Of ^CJim and Dan prancing 'round the ^Dpool You were the ^Efool, and I feel ^Asorry for ^Eyou

You were the ^Efool, but there's ^Dsomething you can ^Ado (E)

__Verse__

You can ^Ewash your arm in a pool of mud You can ^Echop a tree, prevent a flood

You can ^Aspeak with a turtle just by ^Eflipping him around (E)

You can ^Ebuild a boat, and sail the sea You can ^Ebuy a moat and forge a key

In^Aitiate the sequence, c^Ereate catastrophe (E)

__Chorus__

^DThink about it turn around And ^Ago back to the quiet sound

Of ^CJim and Dan prancing 'round the^D pool You were the ^Efool, and I feel ^Asorry for ^Eyou

You were the ^Efool, but there's ^Dsomething you can ^Ado (E)

__Verse__

^EBless the father, bless the son ^ECross your heart 'cause you're the one

^ECurvy sticks and wooden poles ^EAssisting you in plugging holes

^APlug them holes till you see straight ^Ethrough to the mind's eye (E)

__Chorus__

^DThink about it turn around And ^Ago back to the quiet sound

Of ^CJim and Dan prancing round the ^Dpool You were the ^Efool, and I feel ^Asorry for ^Eyou

You were the ^Efool, but there's ^Dsomething you can ^Cdo You were the ^Efool
