  • Notes:
    This song sounds great on a Strat. I figured out 99%
    of this song myself and confirmed my interpretation when I
  • saw Chris Isaak on 'Saturday Night Live'.
    There are really two guitars in this tune. Isaak is
    strumming the rhythm on his acoustic while his lead guitarist
  • does the melody work. Isaak plays the Bm A E progression
    through most of the song.
    In my notation, a row of tildes (~) means 'wiggle the
  • tremelo bar'. '\' means slide down and '/' means slide up.
    The nice tremelo work along with a lot of reverb give this
    song most of its atmosphere.
  • The intro riff is hard to notate. Basically, the sequence
    on the B string is: pick open string (B), bend tremelo down 1/2 step,
    hammer-on 7th fret (F#), release tremelo, pick 7th fret (F#), slide
  • down to open string.

    lyrics:
  •  
    We were on fire
    No one could save me but you.
  • Strange what desire make foolish people do
    I never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you
    I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you
  •  
    No, I don't want to fall in love
    [This girl is only gonna break your heart]
  • No, I don't want to fall in love
    [This girl is only gonna break your heart]
    With you
  • With you
     
    What a wicked game to play
  • To make me feel this way
    What a wicked thing to do
    To let me dream of you
  • What a wicked thing to say
    You never felt this way
    What a wicked thing to do
  • To make me dream of you
     
    And I wanna fall in love
  • [This girl is only gonna break your heart]
    And I don't want to fall in love
    [This girl is only gonna break your heart]
  •  
    World was on fire
    No one could save me but you
  • Strange what desire make foolish people do
    I never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you
    I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you
  •  
    And I wanna fall in love
    [This girl is only gonna break your heart]
  • And I wanna fall in love
    [This girl is only gonna break your heart]
    With you
  • With you
     
    Nobody loves no one
  • PLAY TOO ..
