Fools Castle Chords & Lyrics - Merle Haggard

[C]It's a big house on a hilltop

Fine [F]carpets on the [C]floor

Expensive polished marble

Are the [D7]steps up to the [G7]door

Vines [C]are climbing up to the roof top

As if there's [F]something they'd like to [C]hide


People call it the Fool's Castle

And I'm the fool [G7]that lives [C]inside


The [F]girl is gone that warmed the [C]castle

Now it's dark the flame has [G7]died

It's a [C]big house on a hilltop

Without [F]love and without [C]pride

People call it the Fool's Castle

And I'm the fool [G7]that lives [C]inside


She used to live here I thought she was lucky

She had what [F]most girls only [C]dream of


I gave her diamonds silk and satin

I gave her [D7]everything but [G7]love

And with my [C]giving I gave her nothing

She wanted [F]only to be by my [C]side


Yes they call it the Fool's Castle

And I'm the fool [G7]that lives [C]inside


The [F]girl is gone that warmed the [C]castle

Now it's dark the flame has [G7]died

It's a [C]big house on a hilltop

Without [F]love and without [C]pride

People call it the Fool's Castle

And I'm the fool [G7]that lives [C]inside
