Fools Gold — The Stone Roses
Chords and lyrics for Fools Gold by The Stone Roses (key of Am).
Verse 1
This is a stripped back acoustic version I've put together, for a gentle
strumming style.
Very different/easier than the original without all the riffs etc.
I couldn't find an acoustic version anywhere so thought I'd give this a go,
