F#m         B               E                A
Can't you show me something I've not seen before
F#m               B                   E                  A
Magic tricks and pirate ships - they just don't work no more.
F#m            B                  E              A
Given up on treasure chests that wash upon the shore
        F#m                                  B
'Cause fool's gold never seems to keep its shine.

Hey, can't you give me something I can hold in my hands
I'm sick of gold rush promises and empty suitcase plans
I won't go back to treasure maps and digging in the sand
For I always seem to lose whatever I find
Yeah, I always seem to leave it all behind

Chorus:
F#m            B            E  A
Give me golden afternoons in May
F#m             B                  C#m A
Give me silver moons that light my way
F#m                  B
And I won't ask for fool's gold anymore

Hey, can't you make me feel like I haven't felt for years
Let me laugh like I did when I was a kid 'til I burst into tears
Let me count the diamond stars and drink the water crystal clear
And I'll be richer than any man that lives with fear

Chorus:
Singing hey, give me golden afternoons in May
Give me silver moons that light my way
And I won't ask for fools gold anymore

F#m              B             C#m  A
I won't ask for fool's gold anymore.
F#m              B                  E
I won't ask for fool's gold anymore.
