{c:Intro}
[/] [D]  [G]  [/] [A]  [/] [A] [/] 
[/] [D]  [G]  [/] [A]  [/] [A] 


Well, I [/] [D] hope that I don't [G] fall in love with [/] [A] you [/] [A] 
'Cause [/] [D] falling in [G] love just makes me [/] [A] blue [/] [A] 
Well the [/] [G] music plays and [D] you display
Your [/] [Em] heart for me to [D] see,
I [/] [G] had a beer and [D] now I hear
You [/] [1/2Em] calling out for [/] [A] me [/] [A] [/] 
And I [/] [D] hope that I don't [G↓] fall in [A↓] love with [/] [D] you. [/] [D] 


Well, the [/] [D] room is crowded, there's [G] people every- [/] [A] where [/] [A] 
And I [/] [D] wonder, should I [G] offer you a [/] [A] chair? [/] [A] 
Well, if [/] [G] you sit down with [D] this old clown,
I’ll [/] [Em] take that frown and [D] break it,
Be- [/] [G] fore the evening's [D] gone away,
I [/] [1/2Em] think that we could [/] [A] make it, [/] [A]
And I [/] [D] hope that I don't [G↓] fall in [A↓] love with [/] [D] you. [/] [D] 


I can [/] [D] see that you are [G] lonesome just like [/] [A] me [/] [A] 
and it [/] [D] being late, you'd [G] like some compa- [/] [A] ny [/] [A] 
Well [/] [G] I've had two, I [D] look at you,
And [/] [Em] you look back at [D] me
The [/] [G] guy you're with has [D] up and split,
The [/] [1/2Em] chair next to you is [/] [A] free [/] [A]
And I [/] [D] hope that you don't [G↓] fall in [A↓] love with [/] [D] me. [/] [D] [/]  


{c:Solo (Sing melody with La la la...)}
[/] [D]  [G]  [/] [A]  [/] [A] [/] 
[/] [D]  [G]  [/] [A]  [/] [A] [/] 
[/] [G]  [D]  [/] [Em] [D] [/] 
[/] [G]  [D]  [/] [1/2Em] [/] [A] [/] [A] [/] 
[/] [D]  [G↓] [A↓] [/] [D] [/] [D]


Now the [/] [D] night does funny [G] things inside a [/] [A] man [/] [A] 
These old [/] [D] tomcat feelings [G] you don't under- [/] [A] stand [/] [A] 
I [/] [G] turn around and [D] look at you, you [/] [Em] light a cigar- [D] ette
I [/] [G] wish I had the [D] guts to bum one, [/] [1/2Em] but we've never [/] [A] met [/] [A]
And I [/] [D] hope that I don't [G↓] fall in [A↓] love with [/] [D] you. [/] [D] 


Now it's [/] [D] closing time, the [G] music's fading [/] [A] out [/] [A] 
Last [/] [D] call for drinks I'll [G] have another [/] [A] stout [/] [A] 
I [/] [G] turn around and [D] look at you, you're [/] [Em] nowhere to be [D] found
I [/] [G] search the place for [D] your lost face,
I [/] [1/2Em] guess I'll have another [/] [A] round [/] [A] 
And I [/] [D] think that I just [G↓] fell in [A↓] love with [/] [D] you [/] [D]

#Play along with original in this key.
#Good fingerpicking song with plenty of suspended chord decoration opportunities (not in chart).
