G
Gather round me buddies
C                  D
Hold your glasses high
      G
And drink to a fool
A crazy fool
     A        D         G
Who told his baby, goodbye

Too late he found out he loves her
So much he wants to die
But drink to a fool
A crazy fool
Who told his baby, goodbye

Chorus:
    A                       G
He needs her, he needs her so
    A                      D
He wonders why he let her go-oo, o-oo, oooo

She's found a new love, buddy
He's a lucky guy
So drink to the fool
'Cause I'm that fool
Who told his baby, goodbye

Chorus:
He needs her, he needs her so
He wonders why he let her go-oo, o-oo, oooo

She's found a new love, buddy
He's a lucky guy
So drink to the fool
'Cause I'm that fool
I told my baby, goodbye
I told my baby, goodbye
