Fooled Around And Fell In Love

I’ve tabbed this song in two different keys so you can choose between
the Key of F (much easier for this song) to match the original record
from Elvin Bishop. Or you can choose the Key of E (at the bottom)
if you’d like play along with the Rod Stewart video. Your choice!

Fooled Around And Fell In Love (Key of F)

I must have been through about a million girls
5 -7 -6 7 -6 -6 -6 -6 6 -5 6 5

I’d love ’em and I’d leave ’em alone
5 -7 -6 7 -5 -6 -5 4 -3 3 -2

I didn’t care how much they cried, no sir
-5 -6 -5 -7 -6 -6 -6 6 -5 6 5

Their tears left me cold as a stone
-5 -6 -5 5 -6 -5 4 -3 3 -2

But then I fooled around and fell in love
5 -5 5 -7 -6 7 -5 -6 -6 6

I fooled around and fell in love
5 -7 -6 7 -5 -6 -6 -5 5 -5 5 -3*

I fooled around and fell in love
5 -7 -6 7 -5 -6 -7 -7 7 -5 -6

I fooled around and fell in love
5 -7 -6 7 -5 -6 -6 -5 5 -5 5 -3*

It used to be when I’d see a girl that I liked
5 -5 5 -7 7 -6 -6 7 -6 6 7 6 7

I’d get out my book and write down her name
5 -5 -5 5 -6 5 -7 7 -6 -5 5 -3 -2

But when the grass got a little greener on the other side
5 -5 5 -7 -7 7 -7 7 -6 7 -7 6 -6 6 -5 5 -5 6

I’d just tear out that page
-6 -6 8 7 -7 7 -6 7 -6 7 -6

But then I fooled around and fell in love
5 -5 5 -7 -6 7 -5 -6 -6 6

I fooled around and fell in love
5 -7 -6 7 -5 -6 -6 -5 5 -3*

I fooled around and fell In love
5 -7 -6 7 -5 -6 7 -7 7 -5 -6

I fooled around and fell in love
5 -7 -6 7 -5 -6 -6 -5 5 -3*

Free, on my own, that’s the way it used to be
-6 -6 -6 -6 5 5 -7 7 -6 -6 7

But since I met you baby, love’s got a hold on me
-5 -6 -6 -6 -5 7 -7 8 -7* -7* -7 -7* -6 -6

Fooled around and fell in love
I fooled around and fell in love
I fooled around and fell In love
I fooled around and fell in love
…
