Title: The Fool in the Tavern
Artist: Peter Breinholt & Big Parade
Album: Songs About the Great Divide

This is a great song. I think this song sounds best when two guitars
play together. Try it out. Any comments are welcome.
Capo 2nd fret

Out here alone in the cold fields
How in the world did you find me at all?
I've been marking off the days
May this one pass away.
And all that I know... is here in this dirty old floor.
And now I'm the fool that you tease in the tavern,
I am the one that you left on the run.
So let me go crazy alone in my feild.
Forgive me if you ever see me breakdown
And I hope you'll still come around.
(x2)
Did you see me in the paper all those years ago
Well I guess my luck was with me and I guess that you know
That I used to be a fighter and I used to tour the road
And I think it might be better if that's all that you know
My name was lucky- then I was never alone.
But now I'm the fool that you tease in the tavern
I am the one that was left on the run.
So let me go crazy alone in my field
Forgive me if you ever see me breakdown
And I hope you'll still come around.
(x2)
So I sit in my fields and remember
And I stare at the ground and I wonder
Maybe I should've written, maybe I should've sold
But I think that my fortune tomorrow's untold.
And all that I know... is here in this dirty old floor.
Now I am the fool that you tease in the tavern
I am the one that was left on the run
So let me go crazy alone in my feilds
Forgive me if you ever see me breakdown
And I hope you'll still- come around.
I'm sitting in my fields and remember

I'm staring at the ground and I wonder...
