I Hope That I Dont Fall In Love With You

johans@ifi.uio.no in the 'nevada archives', but I am sure he doesn't mind me using it here ;-). However, I adapted some of the chords.

In the chorus, the chords change, but the pattern stays roughly the same, except for the 'turnaround'. chords during chorus: (or F/G ?) F C G C F C F F/G music...you......heart...see, I had...now...

Now the room is crowded, people everywhere And I wonder should I offer you a chair Well if you sit down with this old clown, he'll take that frown and break it Before the evening's gone away, I think that we could make it And I hope that I don't fall in love with you Now the night does funny things inside a man These old tomcat feelings you don't understand I turn around and look at you, you light a cigarette Wish I had the guts to bum one, but we've never met And I hope that I don't fall in love with you And I can see that you are lonesome just like me And I'm feeling like you'd like some company Well I turn around to look at you, and you look back at me The guy you're with is up and split, the chair next to you's free And I hope that you don't fall in love with me Now it's closing time, the music's fading out Last call for drinks I'll have another stout I turn around and look at you, you're nowhere to be found I search the place for your lost face, I guess I'll have another round and I think that I just fell in love with you -- From: taillet@lapphp8.in2p3.fr () This is the Tom Waits's song called 'I hope that I don't fall in love with you', which I tabbed from the recording 'The Early Years'. I think it is a faithfull transcription, at least for the beginning of the song ( I didn't tabbed all the variations that occur after), and for possible misprints. I didn't write all the lyrics, because they have already been sent to this group. ( I tabbed some others Tom Waits songs. Does it interest anyone . I prefer answers by e-mail).
