Simply Irresistible Chords

(ver. 1)
Robert Palmer
This song was written by Robert Palmer.

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?       
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                               A                G
She used to look good to me but now I find her -
                  E     A                        E       A      
Simply irresistable.             Simply irresistable.

Verse 2
E                           A    E                                    A
Her loving is so powerful!       Its 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                               A                G
She used to look good to me but now I find her -
                 E         A                    E            A
Simply irresistable.             Simply irresistable.

Simply irresistable!(She's so fine there's no telling where the money went!)
                   E                                        A
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]
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-

Simply irresistable!(She's so fine there's no telling where the money went!)
                   E                                         A

E                            A E                                 A
