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. intro (down 1/2) (back up) (slide) ~~~ (down 1/2) (back up) (slide) -----------------------------------|----------------------------------- -0----------7---------7\-------0--|-0----------7---------7\-------0-- -----------------------------------|----------------------------------- -----------------------------------|----------------------------------- -----------------------------------|----------------------------------- -----------------------------------|----------------------------------- A ~~~~~~ --------------------------| ---5----------------------| --6--7-6-4-----2---1------| -7-----------4---2--------| --------------------------| --------------------------| ~~~~ -2----0----------------------------- ---3----3--2----0------------------- -------------4----4-2--1-----1-2-4-- o ----------------------2----2-------- o ------------------------------------ ------------------------------------ verse Bm A E (fill) ------------ ------------ ----2---1--- --4---2----- ------------ ------------ Bm A E (another fill) ------------ ------------ ----1-2-4--- --2--------- ------------ ------------ 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 Back to index / i / isaak_chr
