“Caravan of Fools” by John Prine

Intro: Em, Am, Em, B7, Em

Verse 1(same chordal progression as the Intro, repeated 5 times)

The dark and distant drumming, the pounding of the hooves,
the silence of everything that moves.
Late at night you’ll see them, decked out in shinny jewels,
the coming of the Caravan of Fools.
Like the wings of a dove, the waiter’s white glove seems to shimmer by the light of the pool.
Some dull blinding winter, when you can’t help but lose, You’re running with the Caravan of Fools.
The Caravan of Fools, The Caravan of Fools. You’re running with the Caravan of Fools

Instrumental Guitar Interlude (same as Intro)

Verse 2 (same chordal progression as the Intro, repeated 3 times)
Love and devotion, deep as any ocean Don’t play by anybody’s rules.
With your carousel of horses, and your unforeseen forces You’re running with the Caravan of Fools
The Caravan of Fools, The Caravan of Fools. You’re running with the Caravan of Fools

Outro: same as Intro (Em, Am, Em, B7, Em)
