[ Предположительная тональность: F ]

Song: Even a fool learns to love
Artist: David Bowie
English Lyrics: David Bowie
Music: Claude Francois & Jacques Revaux

In 1968, before he was really famous, David Bowie was employed
by publishers to write an English lyric to a French pop hit
called 'Comme d'habitude'. Bowie's submission was unsuccessful,
and the publishers used a lyric by Paul Anka instead,
his version was called 'My way'.
Three years later Bowie partly based his own hit 'Life on Mars'
on a similar chord sequence.
More information, and the first verse of Bowies' demo recording

The demo first verse differs slightly from Bowie's typed lyrics,
for the tab I've gone with what he sang on the demo.

I've included two tab versions: one in Claude Francois'
(and Bowie's demo) key of F, and the second tab in
Frank Sinatra's recorded key of D.
N.B. As I haven't heard the full demo, I've done my best to
guess how the chords and lyrics might have scanned.

[Verse 1]
             F            Am/E
There was a time, a happy time,
          Cm/Eb              D7
I took my heart ...to every party,
D7sus4                  Gm                     Gm/F
        They'd point my way, "How are you to - day?"
                  C7/E              F        F
"Will you make us laugh, chase our blues a - way?"
 F/C    F       F7M                    Cm7/F   F7
Their funny man     ....won't let them down,
         Bb                   Bbm6
No, I'd dance and prance, and be their clown,
      F/C           C          C7    Gm/F               F
That time, a happy time, that even a fool--- learns to love!


[Verse 2]
      F                   Am/E
The clown   ...turned a - round,
            Cm/Eb                     D7       D7sus4
And saw her smile,   ...oh, how she loved me,
                Gm               Gm/F
She'd clap her hands, and beg me stay,
            C7/E                F      F
To make her laugh, to make her life gay,
     F/C       F    F7M               Cm7/F    F7
Who wants the love      ...of all the world,
               Bb                 Bbm6
When here was love in the eyes of just one girl?
     F/C                 C         C7    Gm/F               F
That day, that precious day, when even a fool--- learns to love!


[Verse 3]
     Am  C7        F    F7M               Cm7/F
But, oh, how I dreamed,       a marvelous dream,
       F7          Bb        Bb7M        Bb
Where all of the heavens, or so it had seemed,
       Am7            Gm7                          C
With thunderous ap - plause, looked down from a - bove,
      C/Bb         Am   Am7         Dm   Dm7
On a clown and an angel so much in love,
                   Gm7                     C
I'll stay with my dream, it takes such a dream,
     C7    Gm/F                F
And even a fool---- learns to love!


[Verse 4]
      F                   Am/E
That day, ...that hateful day,
                Cm/Eb                    D7    D7sus4
The joke turned stale,  ...the game was over,
                Gm                Gm/F
Those spiteful words, "Oh, go a - way!
             C7/E                 F        F
Who wants to play?  It's getting late now!"
F/C   F    F7M              Cm7/F    F7
 My world,     ...my funny world,
              Bb                Bbm6
Had lost its mask, and shown a broken heart,
  F/C            C         C7    Gm/F                F
A time, a sour time, when even a fool---- learns to love!


[Verse 5]
     Am  C7        F    F7M               Cm7/F
But, oh, how I dreamed,       a marvelous dream,
       F7          Bb        Bb7M        Bb
Where all of the heavens, or so it had seemed,
       Am7             Gm7                         C
With thunderous ap - plause, looked down from a - bove,

On a clown and an angel so much in love,
                   Gm7                     C
I'll stay with my dream, it takes such a dream,
