Gene Clark Life's Greatest Fool written by Gene Clark
[G] [D] [C] [Am]
Some walk out winners of those who've lost
[G]Can it be [D]said at any [C]price this is the cost
[G]Hard is [D]perception e[C]asier is b[Am]lame
[G]Is this the only l[D]ife for [C]everyo[D]ne is it the [G]same
[G] [D] [C] [Am]
Children laugh and run away
[G] [D] [C]
While others look into the darkness of the day
[G] [D] [C] [Am]
Some streets are easy while some are cruel
[G] [D] [C] [D] [G]
Could these be reasons why man is life's greatest fool
[D] [A]
Do you believe when you're all alone
[C] [G]
You held the key to your destiny gone
[D]Do you believe [A]deep in your soul
[C] [G] [A][D]
That too much lonliness makes you grow old
SOLO
[G] [D] [C] [Am]
Words can be empty though filled with sound
[G]Stoned numb and [D]drifting [C]hard to be profound
[G] [D] [C] [Am]
Formed out of pleasure chiselled by pain
[G]Never the [D]highest and [C]not the [D]last ones to [G]gain
[D] [A]
Do you believe when you're all alone
[C] [G]
You held the key to your destiny gone
[D]Do you believe [A]deep in your soul
[C] [G] [A][D]
That too much lonliness makes you grow old
