Ween - You Were the Fool
From the amazing album 12 Golden Country Greats


The song's signature is the little hammer-ons he hits when playing the E chord.  As he
strums the E, he does 0h2 hammer-ons on the A, D, and G strings.  Listen to the song to
hear it.

When solo, Gene sometimes puts a capo on the second fret, but with Ween I'm pretty sure
he didn't use the capo.

I think it sounds better with the capo on 2, but that may just be because I have more
trouble hitting the hammer-ons with no capo.  Also, the E is the only chord he plays open,
all the others are barre chords.  I have simplified those barre chords; there's probably 
some 7th stuff happening that I'm not smart enough to figure out.  And don't miss the
surprise C chord near the end.
