E7/6 A7 D D9 D F#m D9 G G/F# Em7
Well, fools fall in love in a hurry,
A7 A7sus4 A7 G A7 Em7 D F#7
Fools give their hearts much too soon;
B7 Cdim B7 Em B+ Em7 Em6
Just play them two bars of "Stardust,"
G D9/F# Em7/9 G/B A7
Just hang out one silly moon.
E7/6 A7 D D9 D F#m D9 G G/F# Em7
Oh - oh! They've got their love torches burning
A7 A7sus4 A7 G A7 Em7 D F#7
When they should be playing it cool;
B7 Cdim B7 Dalt F#7 G
I used to laugh but now I understand --
G/B A7 D A7 G/B G A7 D
Shake the hand of a brand new fool.
E7/6 A7 D D9 D F#m D9 G G/F# Em7
Well, fools fall in love just like schoolgirls,
A7 A7sus4 A7 G A7 Em7 D F#7
Blind - ed by rose col - ored dreams;
B7 Cdim B7 Em B+ Em7 Em6
They build their cas - tles on wishes
G D9/F# Em7/9 G/B A7
With only rain - bows for beams.
E7/6 A7 D D9 D F#m D9 G G/F# Em7
Oh - oh! They're mak - ing plans for the future
A7 A7sus4 A7 G A7 Em7 D F#7
When they should be right back at school;
B7 Cdim B7 Dalt F#7 G
I used to laugh but now I understand --
G/B A7 D A7 G/B G A7 D
Shake the hand of a brand new fool.
Recorded by The Drifters as an up-tempo swing, I've already found that this one works equally well at ballad tempo. Thanks to recent visitor Andrew Carpenter for the suggestion.
