1. I must have been through about a million girls,

          C                                           G

    I'd love 'em, then I'd leave 'em alone.

D                                               F#m

    I didn't care how much they cried, no, sir,

C                                                G

    their tears left me cold as a stone

 

                  D                                  F#m

But then I fooled around and fell in love,

    C                                   G

I fooled around and fell in love, yes, I did.

    D                                  F#m      C                                    G

I fooled around and fell in love, I fooled around and fell in love.

 

                    D                         F#m

2. It used to be when I'd see a girl that I liked,

                             C                                     G

    I'd get out my book and write down her name.

                             D                                                   F#m

    But when the grass got a little greener over on the other side,

C                                  G

    I'd just tear out that page.        +  CHORUS

 

+  A - G    - Em - A    - Em - A          +  D - F#m - C - G (4x)

 

    D                             - F#m

3.     Free, on my own            that’ss the way I used to be,

                 C                             -  G

    ah, but since I met you baby,       love's got a hold on me.

D                            F#m       - C                           G

    It's got a hold on me now,      I can't let go of you, baby.

 

+  CHORUS (2x)  ....
