Chords used in this song

As I [D]write this letter to you [A]darlin'
I can't [G]hold the teardrops from my [D]eyes
For at [D]sundown I will lay a-[G]dyin'
At the [A]door of the Fool's Para[D]dise

Rode [D]into this cattle town this [A]mornin'
Left my [G]burro to check the market [D]price
And I walked into the nearest [G]barroom
They [A]call it the Fool's Para[D]dise

There the [D]crowd was gay and girls were [A]dancin'
And the[G] men were playin' cards and [D]dice
So I stepped up [D7]to the bar to [G]join them
What a [A]grand place this Fool's Para[D]dise

It [Bm]was then I showed to them your [F#]picture
I passed it around once or [Bm]twice
Then a [G]man insulted your sweet [D]honour
At the [A]bar of the Fool's Para[D]dise

So I [D]slapped his face and I [A]told him, I says
"You eat them words Mister, or [G]draw, that's my advice"
And he said, [D]“Well, somebody might get hurt inside
But I'll be glad to meet you in the street at [G]sundown
At [A]sundown in front of the Fool's Para[D]dise"

So good[D]bye my darlin', may God [A]bless you
I [G]go to make this sacri[D]fice
And if ever you [D7]visit old Dodge [G]City
Re[A]member the Fool's Para[D]dise
