Song: Heartaches of a Fool
Artist: Willie Nelson
Transcribed by: Badger709
Recorded by Willie Nelson [3/4 time]
Written by Walt Breeland, Paul Buskirk, Willie Nelson
I love this song. It was one of the songs that I wanted to play when I started to play guitar, but for a
beginner that G7 can be ugly, but once you get that down the rest is pretty easy. The nice thing about
this song for a beginner is that it can be played as slow as you want and still sounds great. People will
think that you are playing slow to capture the emotions in the song. At least that's what I tell them.
Play to make your self happy and then everything sounds good.
I first heard this song in a episode of the Rockford Files (Season 5-Ep 1), so you know it has to be good.

G G7
Started out with the dreams
C G
And the plans of a wise man
C D7 G
And ended up with the heartaches of a fool
C G
As a boy I would walk through the valley
D7 G
Gazed at the world all around
G7 C G
Made a vow that somehow I would find fame and fortune
C D7 G
I found it but look at me now
C G
I had a sweetheart who would love me forever
D7 G
Didn't need her I would reign all alone
G7 C G7
And look at me I'm the king of a cold lonely castle
C D7 G
The queen of my heart is gone
C G
So get around me you fools for a dollar
D7 G
Listen to me a lesson you'll learn
G7 C G
Wealth there's happiness and love sent from heaven above
C D7 G
And the fires of ambition will burn
G G7
Started out with the dreams
C G
And the plans of a wise man
C D7 G
And ended up with the heartaches of a fool
