She played around and teased me
     F       G
with her carefree devil eyes
   C         Am
She`d hold me close and kiss me
    F         G
but her heart was full of lies

Poor little fool
  Am  F6
oh yeah
     G7   C
I was a fool uh huh
    Am
(Uh huh Poor little fool
F        G
I was a fool oh yeah)

  C        Am
She told me how she cared for me
  F        G
and that we`d never part

And so for the very first time
 F      G
I gave away my heart

  Am  F6
oh yeah
    G7   C
I was a fool uh huh

(Uh huh Poor little fool
F        G

  C        Am
The next day she was gone and I
F         G
knew she`d lied to me
  C       Am
She left me with a broken heart
  F      G7
and won her victory

Poor little fool
  Am  F6
oh yeah

I was a fool uh huh

     C           Am
Well I`d played this game with other hearts
   F         G
but I never thought I`d see
  C        Am
The day when someone else would play
    F         G
love`s foolish game with me
       C
Poor little fool
  Am  F6
oh yeah
    G7   C
I was a fool uh huh

F        G
I was a fool oh yeah)

What Is This?

Poor Little Fool by Ricky Nelson guitar chords playing instructions. Poor Little Fool is a rock and roll song written by Sharon Sheeley and first recorded by Ricky Nelson in 1958. Sheeley wrote the song when she was fifteen years old. She had met Elvis Presley, and he encouraged her to write. It was based on her disappointment following a short-lived relationship with a member of a popular singing duo. Sheeley sought Ricky Nelson to record the tune. She drove to his house, and claimed her car had broken down. He came to her aid, and she sprang the song on him. Her version was at a much faster tempo than his recording. The song was recorded by Ricky Nelson on April 17, 1958, and released on Imperial Records. It was the first number-one song on Billboard magazines then-new Hot 100 chart, replacing the magazines Jockeys and Top 100 charts. It spent two weeks at the number-one spot.
