This chord and lyric rendition has been done by ear by yours truly,
just for the hell of it!!!
A fairly easy song to get going.
The trick is in the syncopated rhythm of the
guitar / bass / drums combo - ba-bum-bum-bum-pause-bum.
In the verses & choruses SLIDE up (D up to E, etc)
to the chord at the start of each bar.
Intro: D/E...D/E...G/A...G/A...[This is also the general rhythm of the verses]
Verse 1
D/E D/E...G/A...G/A[and so on for the verse and chorus]
How can it be permissable?
She compromise my principles! yeah-yeah
That kind of love is mythical.
She's anything but typical.
Bridge 1
She's a craze! You ought to know it! She's a powerful force!
You're obliged to conform when there's no other course!
She used to look good to me but now I find her -
Simply irresistable. Simply irresistable.
Verse 2
Her loving is so powerful! Its simply unavoidable! mmm-oh-oh oh
The trend is irreversable! The woman is invincible!
Bridge 2
She's a natural law and she leaves me in awe!
She deserves the applause! I surrender because-
She used to look good to me but now I find her -
Simply irresistable. Simply irresistable.
Chorus 1
Simply irresistable!(She's so fine there's no telling where the money went!)
Simply irresistable!(She's so fine, there's no other way to go!)
[Drum beat only but RP chants out the words in these chords - I think]
She's unavoidable, my back's against the wall!
She gives me feelings I never had before!
I'm breaking promises! She's breaking every law!
She used to look good to me but now I find her-
Chorus 2
Simply irresistable!(She's so fine there's no telling where the money went!)
Simply irresistable!(She's all mine, there's no other way to go!)
[Guitar break - ]
Verse 3
Her methods are inscrutable! The proof is irrefutable! mmm-oh-oh-oh
She's so completely kissable! Our lives are indivisible! oh yeah
Bridge 1
She's a craze! You ought to know it! She's a powerful force!
You're obliged to conform when there's no other course!
Well she used to look good to me but now I find her-
[Ending Chorus repeats 2x]
Simply irresistable!(She's so fine there's no telling where the money went!)
Simply irresistable!(She's all mine, there's no other way to go!)
[Full stop after final phrase]
Simply irresistable!
