Simply Irresistible by Robert Palmer - Guitar Chords

<< Back to Robert Palmer Song List
Version 1
            This song was written by Robert Palmer.
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   A / B
(This is also the general rhythm of the verses)

[Verse 1] (* and so on for the verse and chorus)
  D / E                    D / E   G / A   G / A *
How can it be permissable?
    E                              A
She compromise my principles! yeah-yeah
     E                              A
That kind of love is mythical.
      E                             A
She's anything but typical.

[Bridge 1]
        B                                    B
She's a craze! You ought to know it! She's a powerful force!
        A                              G
You're obliged to conform when there's no other course!
    B                      G
She used to look good to me but now I find her -
           E              A                 E                 A
Simply irresistible.             Simply irresistible.
           E              A                 E                 A
Simply irresistible.             Simply irresistible.

[Verse 2]
    E                       A         E                           A
Her loving is so powerful!       It's simply unavoidable! mmm-oh-oh oh
    E                       A        E                           A
The trend is irreversable!       The woman is invincible!

[Bridge 2]
        B                   B
She's a natural law and she leaves me in awe!
      A                        G
She deserves the applause! I surrender because -
    B                      G
She used to look good to me but now I find her -
            E              A                E                A
Simply irresistible.             Simply irresistible.

[Chorus 1]
           E                                          A
Simply irresistible!
          (She's so fine there's no telling where the money went!)
           E                                      A
Simply irresistible!
          (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)
B                     A
She's unavoidable, my back's against the wall!
B                       A
She gives me feelings I never had before!
B                            A
I'm breaking promises! She's breaking every law!
B                               A               G
She used to look good to me but now I find her -

[Chorus 2]
           E                                          A
Simply irresistible!
          (She's so fine there's no telling where the money went!)
           E                                      A
Simply irresistible!
          (She's all mine, there's no other way to go!)

[Verse 3]
    E                        A       E                   A
Her methods are inscrutable!   The proof is irrefutable!   mmm-oh-oh-oh
      E                       A     E                         A
She's so completely kissable!   Our lives are indivisible! oh yeah

[Bridge 1]
        B                                    B
She's a craze! You ought to know it! She's a powerful force!
        A                              G
You're obliged to conform when there's no other course!
         B                      G
Well she used to look good to me but now I find her -

[Ending Chorus] (x2)
           E                                          A
Simply irresistible!
          (She's so fine there's no telling where the money went!)
           E                                      A
Simply irresistible!
          (She's all mine, there's no other way to go!)

(Full stop after final phrase)
           E
Simply irresistible!
