This was recently requested, so here it goes. It's not 100% accurate, but this should get you going. The lyrics were already downloaded by Johan Kristian Sveen <johans@ifi.uio.no> in the 'nevada archives', but I am sure he doesn't mind me using it here ;-). However, I adapted some of the chords.

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'. chords during chorus: (or F/G ')

lyrics:
I hCope that I don't Ffall in love with F/Gyou Cause Cfalling in lFove just makes me blF/Gue Well the mFusic plays and Cyou display your Gheart for me to Csee I Fhad a beer and Cnow I hear you Fcalling out to F/Gme And I Chope that I don't Ffall in lGove with Cyou. G
Now the room is crowded, people everywhere And I wonder should I offer you a chair Well if you sit down with this old clown, he'll 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 Now the night does funny things inside a man These old tomcat feelings you don't understand I turn around and look at you, you light a cigarette 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 And I can see that you are lonesome just like me And I'm feeling like you'd like some company Well I turn around to look at you, and you look back at me The guy you're with is up and split, the chair next to you's free And I hope that you don't fall in love with me Now it's closing time, the music's fading out Last call for drinks I'll have another stout I turn around and look at you, you're nowhere to be found I search the place for your lost face, I guess I'll have another round and I think that I just fell in love with you -- ********************* '...I'll tell you all my secrets, but I lie about my past...' - Tom Waits. *********************
