This version is in the key of E (standard tuning), with some funky chord shapes.
The E is Phil's traditional version, using the index finger to barre the 2nd fret
on the 4th and 5th strings and the pinky pressing the 4th fret on the 3rd string.
E/G# is that chord but also hitting the 4th fret on the 6th string. The Asus4 uses
the 5th fret on the 5th string, 7th fret on the 4th string and the 9th fret on the
3rd string. The C#sus2 is the Asus4 shape moved down one fret.
E E/G# A B E
Got myself some wisdom from a leather back book
E/G# B A E A C#m B
Got myself a Savior when I took a second look
E E/G# A B E
I opened up the pages and what did I find
E/G# B A B E
A black and white portrait of a king who’s a friend of mine
Asus4 C#sus2 C#m B A C#m B
E E/G# A B E
Funny how when you think you’re right everybody else must be wrong
E/G# B A B
Till someone with fool's wisdom somehow comes along
E E/G# A B E
His voice was strange and the words he said I didn’t quite understand
E/G# B A B E
Yet I knew that He was speaking right by the leather back book in his hand
E G#m A B C#m B E
Hey Hey! Fool's Wisdom
C#m B E/G#
What a day!
E G#m C#m B A A B C#m
Hey Hey! What a day! Fools Wisdom
A B E
Fool’s Wisdom
E E/G# A B E
Got myself some wisdom from a leather back book
E/G# B A E A C#m B
Got myself a Savior when I took a second look
