Patti Smith

Composed by: Patti Smith / Tony Shanahan

A     A           D   D
Come, be my April fool
A     A               D   D
Come, you're the only one
A    A              D   D
Come on your rusted bike
A     A                   D    D
Come, we'll break all the rules

[Chorus]
Bm               Bm
 We'll ride like writers ride
G            G
 Neither rich nor broke
Bm                  Bm
 We'll race through alleyways
G      G
 In our tattered cloaks so

[Verse 2]
A     A           D   D
Come, be my April fool
A     A                   D    D
Come, we'll break all the rules

[Chorus]
Bm           Bm
 We'll burn all of our poems
G       G
 Add to God's debris
Bm              Bm
 We'll pray to all of our saints
G         G
 Icons of mystery
Bm           Bm
 We'll tramp through the mire
G              G
 When our souls feel dead
Bm              Bm
 With laughter, we'll inspire
G             G
 Then back to life again

[Verse 3]
A     A           D   D
Come, be my April fool
A     A               D   D
Come, you're the only one

[Verse 4]
A           D   D
Be my April fool
A   A               D   D
    You're the only one
A   A
Come
D     D           A   A   D   D
Come, be my April fool
A   A
Come
D                   A    A   D   D
We'll break all the rules
