A Fool Grows Wise

Am G D

[Verse 1]
           Am7  D7          G
Some early morn,  a fool is born
Bm   E7      Am7  D7            
   A fool is born,  for aren't we 
  G7
all
C                    C7          
 And he believes his spoon is of 
G    G7
gold
C                      C7         
 And he believes he'll never grow 
G        G7
tired or old
Am7              Am              
   What a lovely world is before 
    G Em7 A7
his eyes

[Chorus]
              D7
But little by little
  D          G
A fool grows wise

[Verse 2]
             Am7 D7             G
As time goes by,   he learns to cry

Bm   E7        Am7 D7           
  He learns to cry,  for don't we 
  G7
all
C                       C7       
 One day his dreams get caught in
     G    G7
 the rain
C                        C7      
 One day he's taught the meaning 
   G         G7
of tears and pain
Am7                   Am         
   Soon he learns the loveliest 
         G Em7 A7
lips tell lies

[Chorus]
              D7
And little by little
  D          G
A fool grows wise

[Bridge]
B           C#m             F#7 
 Suppose he laughs at dreams   
            B
and skies of blue
             C#m          F#7     
And captures all the world   fools
           B7
 sometimes do
Em                              
  What good's the world that he 
F#7       Bm
calls his own
                B7          E7    
What good's the world if he walks 
Am     D
alone

[Verse 3]
G              Am7    D7        
 That's how he learns,  for what
    G
 he yearns
Bm   E7         Am7  D7        
  He yearns for love,  for 
     G
don't we all
C                  C7        G   
 But love is not a frivolous 
  G7
waltz
C                      C7        
 And when he learns to love love 
     G       G7
with all its faults
Am7                  Am      
   Then he knows the meaning of 
         G Em7 A7
compromise

[Otro]
             D7
So little by little
  D          G
A fool grows wise
