 Wicked Game
    Chris Isaak, from _Heart-Shaped_World_
 transcription by pryan@access.digex.net (patrick m. ryan)
 	(formerly pat@jaameri.gsfc.nasa.gov)
 Notes:
 	This song sounds great on a Strat.  I figured out 99%
 of this song myself and confirmed my interpretation when I
 saw Chris Isaak on 'Saturday Night Live'.
 	There are really two guitars in this tune.  Isaak is
 strumming the rhythm on his acoustic while his lead guitarist
 does the melody work.  Isaak plays the Bm A E progression
 through most of the song.
 	In my notation, a row of tildes (~) means 'wiggle the
 tremelo bar'.  '\' means slide down and '/' means slide up.
 The nice tremelo work along with a lot of reverb give this
 song most of its atmosphere.
 	The intro riff is hard to notate.  Basically, the sequence
 on the B string is: pick open string (B), bend tremelo down 1/2 step,
 hammer-on 7th fret (F#), release tremelo, pick 7th fret (F#), slide
 down to open string.

 lyrics:
 
 We were on fire
 No one could save me but you.
 Strange what desire make foolish people do
 I never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you
 I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you
 
 No, I don't want to fall in love
    [This girl is only gonna break your heart]
 No, I don't want to fall in love
    [This girl is only gonna break your heart]
 With you
 With you
 
 What a wicked game to play
 To make me feel this way
 What a wicked thing to do
 To let me dream of you
 What a wicked thing to say
 You never felt this way
 What a wicked thing to do
 To make me dream of you
 
 And I wanna fall in love
    [This girl is only gonna break your heart]
 And I don't want to fall in love
    [This girl is only gonna break your heart]
 
 World was on fire
 No one could save me but you
 Strange what desire make foolish people do
 I never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you
 I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you
 
 And I wanna fall in love
    [This girl is only gonna break your heart]
 And I wanna fall in love
    [This girl is only gonna break your heart]
 With you
 With you
 
 Nobody loves no one
