Ray Porter - Everybodys Fool

 {Verse 1}

Dm7                    Gm7

Ever since I was young I went to the wrong school

Dm7                           Gm7

I was taught fake history and how to obey the rules

Dm7                              Gm7

when I didn't tow the line I was punished so severe

Dm7                                   Gm7

they bashed me to a robotic state and filled me full of fear



{Chorus}

Am

Now I'm everybody's fool, I'm everybody's fool

Em

and they're laughing at me, they will soon be laughing at you

Am

I went to the wrong school and was taught the wrong rules

Em

now I'm everybody's fool



{Verse 2}

Dm7                  Gm7

Reaching adolescence you got me so confused

Dm7                          Gm7

you taught me sexuality and how to be amused

Dm7                                    Gm7

you tried to make it look like you had opened up my mind

Dm7                               Gm7

when all you really wanted was my sex to be defined



{Chorus}

Am

Now I'm everybody's fool, I'm everybody's fool

Em

and they're laughing at me, they will soon be laughing at you

Am

I went to the wrong school and was taught the wrong rules

Em

now I'm everybody's fool



{Middle 8}

Bm7                   Gm7         Bm7                     Gm7

Every year I took the wrong exam, that's why I turned out like I am

Bm7                   Gm7         Bm7                     Gm7

Every year I took the wrong test, that's why I turned out like the rest



{Verse 3}

Dm7               Gm7

Upper education I didn't do to well

Dm7                                   Gm7

I didn't mix with rich kids and their parents back room spells

Dm7                      Gm7

I ended up in a takeaway wiping tables clean

Dm7                             Gm7

taking orders from the wise the cruel and the obscene



{Chorus}

Am

Now I'm everybody's fool, I'm everybody's fool

Em

and they're laughing at me, they will soon be laughing at you

Am

I went to the wrong school and was taught the wrong rules

Em

now I'm everybody's fool, I'm everybody's fool,I'm everybody's fool.
