Intro ( fingerpicking, x2 ): D G A D G A Well, I hope that I don't fall in love with you D G A 'Cause falling in love just makes me blue, G D Well the music plays and you display G D your heart for me to see, G D I had a beer and now I hear G A you calling out for me D G D And I hope that I don't fall in love with you. D G A Well, the room is crowded, there's people everywhere D G A And I wonder, should I offer you a chair? G D Well, if you sit down with this old clown, G D I ll take that frown and break it, G D Before the evening's gone away, G A I think that we could make it, D G D And I hope that I don't fall in love with you. D G A I can see that you are lonesome just like me, D G A and it being late, you'd like some company, G D Well I've had two, I look at you, G D and you look back at me, G D The guy you're with has up and split, G A the chair next to you is free, D G D And I hope that you don't fall in love with me. Interlude: D G A D G A G D G D G D G A D G D And I hope that I don't fall in love with you. D G A Now the night does funny things inside a man D G A These old tomcat feelings you don't understand G D G D I turn around and look at you, you light a cigarette G D G A I wish I had the guts to bum one, but we've never met D G D And I hope that I don't fall in love with you. D G A Now it's closing time, the music's fading out D G A Last call for drinks I'll have another stout G D G D I turn around and look at you, you're nowhere to be found G D G A I search the place for your lost face, I guess I'll have another round D G D and I think that I just fell in love with you This arrangement is its contributor’s own interpretation, shared for private study, education and non-commercial use.

How to play I Hope I Don’t Fall In Love With You on ukulele
The strumming pattern that fits is the everywhere 4/4: d – d u – u d –. It rolls along at a medium pace of around 90 bpm. On this page the song is in D major. Chord-wise this is an easy one: everything sits at the rookie level. Prefer easier shapes? Transpose the song down 2 half-steps, then a capo on fret 2 brings you back to the key on this page. Strum lightly and let each chord ring under the vocal line.
