G                            D         
All my good life I~ve been a lonely man

Teaching the people who don~t understand

Some going east and some gone west
C                   G             
Some stand aside to try their best
G                       D                   
Some living big but the most is living small
     C                       G          
They just can~t even find no fool at all
