Chords for Vince Gill, Foolin Around

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ As an 18 year old kid, wanting more than anything to be a session player.
_ [C] I wanted to play on people's records.
I wanted to just be [N] part _ of the community.
I wanted to do a part.
[Eb] And I did.
And I had the greatest [Db] time doing it.
I still have the greatest time doing it.
[Ebm] I have no idea who's going to [C] call me next and ask me to play or sing on a record.
Last year, I got a [N] call from Alice Collins. _ _ _
_ _ I _ _ _ got a call from Chris Bowie, a great jazz trumpet player.
[Eb] I got a call from Barbra Streisand.
_ _ _ _ [N] _ _
And I never thought any of [B] those [G] things would ever happen to me.
And _ _
[B] since I turned 50, I've been having the [C] greatest stretch of my life _ [Eb]
of being creative and having fun.
I think the pressure of worrying about having a hit record and getting it on the radio and [Gb] chasing the charts and [Eb] Stacey Kineon.
_ _ [N] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ And anyway, _ _ I just, I think my mind is clear to do things that I love.
And what you've heard tonight so far _ is [Gb] a [Db] really beautiful, _ [C] elegant statement about how beautiful traditional _ [N] music is.
_ I'll _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ do a stick up.
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
I [N] don't think there's anybody doing whatever the hell they [Cm] want to do.
_ _ _ _ [B] _ [C] _ _
_ _ [N] _ _ Recently, I came up with this idea.
_ I've worked, like I said, with _ hundreds and hundreds and hundreds [Eb] and hundreds of artists over my career.
_ And I had the idea to do a [Db] duet record, a whole duet record. _
_ And I think [B] most people would think I would have chosen a [C] singer [Ab] to do a duet [N] record with.
But I thought like a musician, like I spoke before.
_ _ And what I wanted to do was play music with someone who I believed _ _ was one of the most gifted [Eb] musicians on the [B] instrument that he played that I've ever heard in my [N] life.
I'm still filled with him.
_ We've been friends for about 35 [Db] years.
_ And _ _ _
[Eb] anyway, we came up with the idea to do a [E] duet record, but not an instrumental record.
[Db] _
And I said, hey, let's sing a little duet.
[Eb] He said, well, that could be [E] good.
_ So [Ebm] I did instrumental records, but [E] _ [Eb] it's like [C] doing a duet since they're [N] about a half of what it's good.
And I love stories and I love songs. _
But what I love more than anything is _
[G] honoring people [C] that inspire me. _
[Eb] And I came up with the [N] idea to _ try to do a record _ of half Buck Owen songs and half Merle Haggard songs. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Who I chose to make my first official duet record with is one of the greatest guys in the whole world, Mr.
Paul Franklin.
_ _ _ Buck _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Owen songs and our favorite Merle Haggard.
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
I'm going to post on some [Em] of that stuff for you. _
[C] This is our main voice.
The [B] record's almost [Em] finished and we just thought we'd give [C] you a taste of _ what's coming.
This is a Buck Owen classic [N] called Foolin' Around. _ _
_ _ [Cm] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ I'm a _ _ _ _ keepin' foolin' _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ on the starry night
I take back my _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ breakin' way _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ To tell you what it _ _ [Gb] _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] would _ be _
_ _ While he's _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ foolin' _ I wish the [C] night _ _ _ _
_ _ I was foolish _ [E] takin' all [F] this _ _ misery
_ _ [Gb] _ [G] But it's you the fool I've [C] always _ been
_ Know that you can fool me well
Don't be [G] right from the start
_ So I take back my breakin' heart
[C] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ And keep tryin' to keep my [F] way
To tell you what it would _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ be _ _
_ So _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Gb] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ I fool around, [Em] you know right where [G] I'm at _ _
_ Don't [Em] worry if I'm lonesome
Cause [C] I'm here _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] Come _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ on fool _ _ around [C] with me _
I know that you can _ _ fool me [G] right
From the start
I _ take back my breakin' heart
And keep tryin' [C] to keep my _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ [Em] _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
way
_ [G] Come on _ fool around [C] _ with me _
[G] _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
