Lyrics

Well, I hope that I don't fall in love with you 'Cause falling in love just makes me blue Well, the music plays and you display your heart for me to see I had a beer and now I hear you calling out for me And I hope that I don't fall in love with you Well, the room is crowded, people everywhere And I wonder, should I offer you a chair Well, if you sit down with this old clown, i 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 Well, I can see that you are lonesome just like me And it being late, you'd like some company Well, now i've had two i look at you and you look back at me The guy you're with, he's up and split, the chair next to you's free And I hope that you don't fall in love with me Na da da da .... And I hope that I don't fall in love with you Well, the night does funny things inside a man These old tomcat feelings you don't understand Well, I turn around to look at you, you light a cigarette I 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 Now, it's closing time - the music's fading out Last call for drinks, I'll have another stout I turn around to look at you, you're nowhere to be found I search the place for your lost face, guess I'll have another round And I think that I just fell in love with you

Notice

Well, thats a wonderful tune from Tom's early years. He did some nice details and the chords just follow his voice. So make sure to check every part for little variations. I mostly pick two bass strings (E- and A- or A and D, depends on the Chord) with my thumb and the higher strigs with my index and middle finger ... i just added those informations to the intro to not make it too complicated. As far as it sounds good do whatever you like ;) Any corrections or reactions are welcome! If you do any YouTube thing with it, a short credit for the tab would be nice. email: info@mochmusic.de
