Okay, I'd put together all the stuff I'd downloaded from the r.m.m.g.t. abt the Chris Isaak song "Somebody's Crying". So, here they are, with the lyrics (mine!) :P. Somebody's Crying - Chris Isaak I met somebody and they cry for you... They lie awake at nite and dream of you I bet you never even know they do But, somebody's crying .... I know somebody and they call your name... A million times but still you never came.... They go on loving you just the same... I know that somebody's trying.... So please return the look you took from me... Oh please you let me know if it can't be me... I'll know that somebody's lying... I know that somebody's lying... I know that somebody's lying... Give me a sign and let me know we're thru... If you don't love me like I love you... But if you cry at nite the way I do I'll know that somebody's lying... So please return the look you took from me... Oh please you let me know if it can't be me... I'll know that somebody's lying... I don't have a tablature program so I'll just give you the chords and maybe you can figure it out yourself. Somebody's Crying Capo on 2nd fret -------------------------------------------------------------- El Paso , TX. /'~'---------------------------------------------------------- Somebody's Crying - Chris Isaak Here's how i think it goes... ---------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------- -------1-----1-------2-------0------------------ ----2------2------3-------0--------------------- -3-------0-----3---------------------------------- -------------------------3-------------------------- It won't sound exactly like the recording unless your on a twelve string ~Cliff The chords are: F Dm Bb F (repeated through verse) then: F Bb F Bb through the chorus ("so, please...") I think the posting from 'Albert Lozoya' showing the 'C-Am-F-C' progression using a capo might be easier to play, but if my ears aren't deceiving me, I hear it in 'F'. Either way, it ain't too tough! Keep on strummin'! J Smith Sunnyvale, CA There seems to be some discussion over Chris Isaak's Somebody's Crying. The way Isaak himself plays it is F Dm Bb F in the verse and F Bb F Bb for the chorus. That's they way he played it on live TV when over here (Australia) recently anyway. The intro is just F Dm played slowly. The F, Dm and Bb are barre chords while Dm is open. A bit tricky to play at first. What I would like is the lead riff/instrumental played in the chorus. It doesn't sound very complex (3-4 notes) but I can't seem to get it. Ta Caleb A good samaritan sent this to me so I'll post it: The chords are F,Dm, Bb, and F for the first part, then, , , , for the second part I worked out the finger picking in the first part, see what you think: [ ][ ][ ][ ] -----------------------1------------------------------------------------------------------------------------6-------------1------------------------------ ---------------------------------------------------------------3------------------------------6---------------------------1----------------------------- --------------2--------------2--------------------2-------------------2-------------------------------------------------2-------------------------------- -----3-----------------------------------0---------------------------------------8---------------------------------------3------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------3-------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------1-------------------------- Drop me a line to tell me what you think or if you figure out the rest, hope you like it ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- And that's that...
