              From The Very Best Of 
Buck Owens Vol 2 CD 
 
Intro C-G7-C 
 
             C                                      G7 
I know that you've been foolin' around on me right from the start 
                                                   C 
So I'll take back your ring and I'll take back my heart 
                                             F 
And when you're tire of foolin' around with two or three 
G7                                C 
Come on home and fool around with me. 
 
 
C                                 G7 
I wasn't foolin' around the day I said I do 
                                             C 
But many a night I wished that I had been a-foolin' too 
                                     F 
I know it's foolish taking all this misery 
G7                                   C 
But when it's you a fool I'll always be 
 
Repeat Chorus 
 
Solo C-G7-C-F-G7-C 
 
C                                     G7 
So honey fool around. You know right where I'm at 
                                           C 
And don't worry if I'm lonesome cause I'm used to that 
                                             F 
And when you're tire of foolin' around with two or three 
G7                                     C 
Then come on home and fool around with me  
 
Repeat Chorus
