I suppose it may be a little too early to be iconizing this song by posting the chords 'n' lyrix, but here they are to "Foolish Heart". As usual, chords that I don't know the names to I've either hazarded a guess or assigned Roman numerals to. If there is a conflict between one of the names chosen for the more abstruse chords in the song and the diagrams rendered, by all means go with the diagrams. And as always, if there are any corrections or questions (especially if you know the names to some of these weirdoes [sp?]) PLEASE let me know. Also, a big thank you to whoever posted Cats Under the Stars. 8*D
Other than the chords in the above diagrams, all chords are regular bar chords, except for Gmaj7 and D at "unto a foolish heart" and the E7 at the instrumental part, which are regular open chords at the low end of the neck. Most of the action takes place above the fifth fret, one notable exception being that the Bmin at "never give your love..." is with the bar on the second fret, allowing easy passage into the VI chord. Go nuts.
