"Fool For You"
(Curtis Mayfield)
Note from AWR: Curtis Mayfield played guitar in an open F# tuning (low to
(high: F#-A#-C#-F#-A#-F# - basically the open-position G chord, down a
semitone) but this is one of the few Impressions songs actually in F#
(cf. "Meeting Over Yonder"); they usually favored the related keys of
C# or B. Oh, yes, the time signature is 9/8.

Verse 2:
It's a doggone shame

And you know it's true
[repeat chorus]

Doggin' me every day
But child, I'm here to stay
