                               "Fool For You"

                             (Curtis Mayfield)

  

  Note from AWR: Curtis Mayfield played guitar in an open F# tuning (low to

  (high: F#-A#-C#-F#-A#-F# - basically the open-position G chord, down a

  semitone) but this is one of the few Impressions songs actually in F#

  (cf. "Meeting Over Yonder"); they usually favored the related keys of

  C# or B.  Oh, yes, the time signature is 9/8.

  

  Intro:

  	horns [4X]:

  Verse 1 (guitar plays octave F# throughout):

  

  	F#      E      B

  	Never liked nobody

  	That's been mean to me

  	F#           E             B

  	I've got a heart full of stone

  	F#     E           B

  	And I hate the misery

  	F#    E         B

  	Then you came along

  	F#          E      B

  	   Into my life

  	F#   E         B

  	Destroying my mind

  	                 F#         E      B

  	Mounting up the toil and strife

  

  Chorus:

  

  	           B           D#m/A#

  	But I'm a fool for you

  	      G#m

  	I love you like I do

  	When you're breaking my heart

  	And you know it's true
