Chorus
G7          C                                     G7
I know that you've been foolin around on me right from the start
                                          C
So I'll give back your ring and I'll take back my heart
                                           F
And when you're tire of foolin around with two or three
      G7                              C
Just come on home and fool around with me
 
                                      G7
Well I wasn't foolin around the day I said I do
                                            C
But many a night I wished that I had been a foolin too
                                    F
I know it's foolish taking all this misery
    G7                               C
but when it's you a fool I'll always be
 
repeat chorus
                                    G7
So honey fool around you know right where I'm at
                                          C
And don't worry if I'm lonesome cause I'm used to that
                                          F
And when you're tire of foolin around with two or three
     G7                                C
Then come on home and fool around with me
