The Waltzing Fool
Lyle Lovett

CAPO 7th Fret

INTRO ON VERSE CHORDS
D   G   D   A   D   G   D   A   G   D

D                            G
The waltzing fool - He's got lights in his fingers
D                      A
The waltzing fool - He just don't never say
D                                G
The waltzing fool - He keeps his hands in his pockets
    D           A       G     D
And waltzes the evening away

D                           G
And it's a waltz to a woman who's lying beside him
D                             A
It's a waltz to a face on the wall when she's gone
D                                G
It's a waltz to the rodeo - The damn thing it rides him
       D     A    G    D
It's a waltz to a waltz

D                        G
Now the waltzing fool he just might be crazy
D                                      A
Because the waltzing fool he keeps the moon in his car
D                          G
And the waltzing fool - He says it's running
   D           A      G   D
On waltzes and waltzes

It's a waltz to a waltz -Just a waltz to a waltz

Now the waltzing fool - They say he's been drinking
D                                   A
But the waltzing fool he's just got mud on his shoes

But the waltzing fool he's got lights in his fingers

The waltzing fool - He keeps his hands in his pockets
    D           A        G    D
And waltzes the evening away
D                       G  
The waltzing fool - His hands in his pockets
     D            A        G    D
He's waltzing the evening away
