[Verse 1]
     E                C#m
Some say this life is only foolishness
   B                          Asus2
No waiting pot of gold in the faith that I possess
        E                           C#m
But the treasures of this life will slowly turn to dust
         B                              Asus2
And this fool will find His gold in the Savior that I trust

[Chorus]
       C#m         G#m
Fool's gold - it's waiting in a crown
       B           A           B
Fool's gold - in a city coming down
     A                B
I'll leave the gold I can't afford
        C#m              B
For the higher prize I'm pressing toward
     A                  G#m
I'll preach the foolish cross of Christ
    A           B               C#m
And wait for my reward - Fool's gold

[Verse 2]
    E                        C#m
The wisdom of the cross - is easy to receive
     B                    Asus2
But only foolishness - to them that don't believe
         E                           C#m
They may say that I'm a fool for the cross that I proclaim
        B                              Asus2
But the gold that I must seek won't be found in earthly fame

[Chorus]
       C#m         G#m
Fool's gold - it's waiting in a crown
       B           A           B
Fool's gold - in a city coming down
     A                B
I'll leave the gold I can't afford
        C#m              B
For the higher prize I'm pressing toward
     A                  G#m
I'll preach the foolish cross of Christ
    A           B               C#m
And wait for my reward - Fool's gold

[Bridge]
E                  C#m      A              B
When the crowns of gold all lay before His feet
E                       C#m        A                B
Then the worthy Lamb of God is the treasure we will keep
E                A         B                C#m
Some may call me foolish - some may call me odd
               E                C#m
But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of men
       A                   B
Than a fool in the eyes of God

[Chorus]
       C#m         G#m
Fool's gold - it's waiting in a crown
       B           A           B
Fool's gold - in a city coming down
     A                B
I'll leave the gold I can't afford
        C#m              B
For the higher prize I'm pressing toward
     A                  G#m
I'll preach the foolish cross of Christ
    A           B               C#m
And wait for my reward - Fool's gold
