Fools Gold

Fools Gold by Ryan Adams

I was dumbfounded that this wasn't already on here ?!?

This song is bootleg from the outtakes on the Gold album. 
So tragic it never made onto the album... such a great song.  
Like so many of his best songs, never to see the light of day.

I did it from ear, so suggestions are welcome. 

Standard Tuning/Capo 1st fret

              x5

She wore a dress that Mara Lisa had sewn 
And everybody just laughed 
The boys were suited up on Mexican rose 
They spilled their wine on their pants 
A distant cousin of her brother had come 
He tore the sheets from her bed 
She felt the poison of the barreling sun 
She felt the weight of his hands 

Fool's gold can buy you anything you want 
                           Quick 
Fool's gold, fool's gold 

          x2 

Her sister Hattie had a ship 
But it had no sail 
Her husband hit her and he split her lip 
He said he'd kill her if he thought she would tell 
The streets were empty on the 4th of July 
The fires burned in the sticks 
The bells were ringing from the church of the saints 
Made of Mexican brick 

Fool's gold can buy you anything you want 
Fool's gold, fool's gold   
Fools Gold  

            x4 (over solo) 

They watched her walk in from the roof of their house 
She had a gun in her purse 
Mara Lisa could have left on a train  
She wasn't sure which was worse 
Her brother Daniel knew a guy in the stretch 
He had some horses and a grudge 
The other option was a Mexican jail 
And a crooked judge 

Fool's gold can buy you anything you want 
                         Quick 
Fool's gold, fool's gold 

Fool's gold can buy you anything you want 
Fool's gold, fool's gold   
Fools Gold

           x4 (over solo) 

They cast a shadow on the dusted remains 
The broken bottles cut the earth 
She saw a rifle sticking out of the brush 
She grabbed the gun from her purse 
Mara Lisa threw the sacks in the car 
The bullets cut into the breeze 
Fool's gold can buy you Mexican jewels 
But it can't buy the police 

Fool's gold can buy you anything you want 
                         Quick 
Fool's gold, fool's gold 

Fool's gold can buy you anything you want 
Fool's gold, fool's gold   
Fools Gold  

                (fade out over solo)
