Artist: Genesis
Song: More fool me
Album: Selling England by the pound
Tabbed by: DJ
The song sounds to be played on a couple of 12 strings, which
are not quite in tune with each other, I assume deliberately
to give a slight chorus effect.
They're not in concert pitch either, but mid-way between pitchs,
in open E tuning.
This is my version in standard tuning, the chord voicings will
not sound exactly the same as the record but are pretty close.
N.B.
For the live 'Genesis Archive 1967-75' version they perform
it a semi-tone up from the original album version. So that's
capo at 4th, and tune sharp by approx. +25.
If you want to play along with the original studio recording,
use a chromatic tuner, tune all strings up by approx. +30
CAPO: 3rd fret (Sounds in approx. key of Bb)

[Verse 1]
G Dsus2/F# Em7
Here am I, who while away the mornings since you've gone,
Am Em D7sus4 D7
Too long have I lay alone, not knowing which way to turn!
[Verse 2]
G Dsus2/F# Em7
And there you are, quite sure you were right, ummm,
Am Em D7sus4 D7
Knowing full well, that I'd be the first one to go down!
[Verse 3]
Fmaj7 Cmaj7
And you'd be the one who was laughing,
Dm7 C
Ex - cept when things weren't going your way,
Cmaj7
And then the lady would say...
Bm7 Em7 Am Am7 D
...That she'd had e - nough ...wandering around on her own!
[Verse 4]
G Dsus2/F#
The day you left,
Em7
Well, I think you knew you'd not be back, ummm,
Am Em
Well, at least it would seem that way,
B7sus4 B7
Because you never said good - bye,
Em7 Em6
But, when it comes 'round to you and me,
Cmaj7 G
I'm sure it will work out al - right!
[Verse 5]
Fmaj7 Cmaj7
And you'd be the one who was laughing,
Dm7 C
And giving me something I don't need,
Cmaj7
And, you know, I'd always hold you,
Bm7 Em7 B7sus4 B7
And keep you warm ...oh, more fool me!
[Verse 6]
Em7 Em6 Cmaj7
Ah, but when it comes 'round to you and me, I ask myself,
Em7 Em6
Do I really believe in your love?
Cmaj7 G
Umm, yes, I'm sure it will work out al - right!
