I Hope That I Don't Fall In Love With You by Tom Waits
I Hope That I Don't Fall In Love With You
Capo II
C F G 2x
C F G
Well, I hope that I don't fall in love with you
C F G
'Cause falling in love just makes me blue,
F C
Well the music plays and you display
F C
your heart for me to see,
F C
I had a beer and now I hear
F G
you calling out for me
C F C
And I hope that I don't fall in love with you.
C F G
Well, the room is crowded, there's people everywhere
C F G
And I wonder, should I offer you a chair?
F C
Well, if you sit down with this old clown,
F C
I ll take that frown and break it,
F C
Before the evening's gone away,
F G
I think that we could make it,
C F C
And I hope that I don't fall in love with you.
C F G
I can see that you are lonesome just like me,
C F G
and it being late, you'd like some company,
F C
Well I've had two, I look at you,
F C
and you look back at me,
F C
The guy you're with has up and split,
F G
the chair next to you is free,
C F C
And I hope that you don't fall in love with me.
C F G C F G F C F C F C F G
C F C
And I hope that I don't fall in love with you.
C F G
Now the night does funny things inside a man
C F G
These old tomcat feelings you don't understand
F C F C
I turn around and look at you, you light a cigarette
F C F G
I wish I had the guts to bum one, but we've never met
C F C
And I hope that I don't fall in love with you.
C F G
Now it's closing time, the music's fading out
C F G
Last call for drinks I'll have another stout
F C F C
I turn around and look at you, you're nowhere to be found
F C F G
I search the place for your lost face, I guess I'll have another round
C F C
and I think that I just fell in love with you

This fingerpicking pattern is continued through the whole song with some small
variations, like one or two extra notes, or 'connecting bass notes'.
In the chorus, the chords change, but the pattern stays roughly the same, except for
the 'turnaround'.

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).
