I'll never fall in love again


Hal David wrote the words to this song and many more modern classics with Bert Bacharach who wrote the music. He was certainly the less known of the two and died only a few months ago aged 91. David also wrote the lyrics to 3 Bond movie themes including my favourite "We have all the time in the world".

Here's a youtube of someone covering it on ukulele in the same key: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vdyp-tL0ZMU I like this version too by Deacon Blue: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpi7r7TTxGU

Bacharach and Elvis Costello also performed it in Austin Powers 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ebyc9tJod4E Shagadelic baby, yeah!


For Em7/A and Dm/G just leave the A and G strings open. Em7 is 0202, Fmaj7 I play 5500. Cmaj7 is 0002. Am7 is 0000 and Dm7 is 2213.

C Am7
What do you get when you fall in love
Fmaj7  
A girl with a pin to burst your bubble
Em7      Em7/A   A7
That's what you get for all your trouble
Dm7 G7                  F7 C
I'll never fall in love again.    
 Fmaj7 G                   C Cmaj7      Am7 Cmaj7
 I'll never fall in love again.    

C                             Am7
What do you get when you kiss a girl
Fmaj7
You get enough germs to catch pneumonia
Em7 Em7/A A7
After you do, she'll never phone you
Dm7 G7  F7 C
I'll never fall in love again.    
Fmaj7 G                     C
 I'll never fall in love again.

C      Dm/G C
Don't tell me what it's all about
Dm/G                                   C
'cause I've been there and I'm glad I'm out
Em
out of those chains, those chains that bind you
D7          G
that is why I'm here to remind you

C                            Am7
what do you get when you give your heart
Fmaj7
you get it all broken up and battered
Em7 Em7/A A7
that's what you get, a heart that's shattered
Dm7 G7                   F7 C
I'll never fall in love again.    
Fmaj7 G                   C
 I'll never fall in love again.    

C                      Dm/G    C
Don't tell me what it's all about
Dm/G       C
'cause I've been there and I'm glad I'm out
Em
out of those chains, those chains that bind you
D7         G
that is why I'm here to remind you

C                              Am7
What do you get when you fall in love
Fmaj7
You only get lies and pain and sorrow
Em7 Em7/A A7
So for at least until tomorrow
Dm7 G7 F7 C
I'll never fall in love again.
Dm7 G7 F7 C
I'll never fall in love again.
Dm7 G7                   C Cmaj7      Am7   Cmaj7   C
I'll never fall in love again.
