Many a truest word
GD
has been spoken by the Jester
GD
Standing against the tide

Is the noblest of gestures
D
little pearls of wisdom
GBm
That tumble from the light
GD
Can make us laugh until we cry

Truth can find the strangest home
E
So meet me in the village
A
Where all we idiots go (go!)
CHORUS, followed by:
DGBmG
Na na natineutinee, na na natineutinee
DGBmAD
na na natineutinee, natineutnee na (ho!)
I?m wading through the quicksand
In the gardens of the gentry
Blooming vacuity
Leaves mind and pockets empty
Now,In the Social Order
I accept the bottom rung
until the wine is pouring
And the Lord commands a song
So,Meet me at the staff door
When the posers all go home
We?ll gather with the other Fools
And put on a proper show (show!)
CHORUS X2, "na na...", then Bridge:
A
So here?s to the Poorest Poet
D
Who always pens the truth
GD
an' the Players Writers,Gypsies an'
AD
The Minstrels and their tunes
A
I?d rather live an honest lifetime
D
With those with nothing to lose
GD
Than waste a night
GD
Knee deep in shite
GD
That?s polished slick
GD
To look just right
DA
I?d rather live a lifetime
AD
In the Company of Fools
BREAK: |D G\f#|G A|X4
Within the strangest people
Truth can find the strangest home
So meet me in the village
where all we idiots go
(all we idiots,all we idiots go)
CHORUS (Acapella)
"Na Na..."
Break Chords (double time)
to fade, with ad lib.
