Fool’s Paradise (Everything’s made in China)
Intro:
E //// Esus //// E //// Esus ////
1.
E
Everything’s made in China, kinda shoddy but it does the job.
B7 E E7
What used to knock a hole in a fiver you can buy for a couple of bob
A7 Bm7/A A7 Bm7/A E Esus E Esus
The rules are changing. - - they’re changing fast
B7 C#m7 A E Esus E Esus
Better make the most of it. This fool’s paradise’ll never last.
2.
Back in the nifty-fifties, when I was a little kid,
Everybody’s busy and thrifty squeezing every penny out of every quid
Make do and mend – there’s a blast from the past
Now they're dripping jewels this fool’s paradise’ll never last
Chorus
A7 Bm7/A E Esus
Never last – when common sense de-feats us
A7 Bm7/A E Esus
Never last – it’s time to pay the bill
A A7 C#m7
We’ll never make a living just delivering each other pizzas
D D D B7 B7
That won’t put tenners in the till.
3.
It’s the kids I fell sorry for. What have they got to come
We’ve all had the best of it and we’ll soon be dead and gone.
Brick wall up ahead – so foot down on the gas.
Better get used to walking – this fool’s paradise’ll never last.
Chorus
4.
The moral of this story – the moral of this song.
The way it is is the way it is and never stays that way long.
With the oil and the ice – the dice is already cast
Any fool can see – this fool’s paradise’ll never last
Chorus
