PLEASE
by Chris Isaak
from the album “Speak of the Devil” (1998)
transcribed by Steve Garner (s_garner@hotmail.com)
This song is really easy to play, and it’s got a great acoustic
finger-picking pattern. It’s just a series of 3 chords which repeat for
the entire song. An electric guitar joins in during the chorus, playing
a slightly different pattern, but the basic 3-chord sequence of the
acoustic doesn’t change. Just play the below tab over and over.
INTRO/VERSE/CHORUS:
C# A F#

I keep listening very quietly
You’re discussing your philosophy
There’s a long list of what’s wrong with me
And you go on talking endlessly now
What’s the problem, what’s the question
What’s the answer, where’s this heading
You keep talking, where’s it going
If there’s an answer, I don’t know it
Please, you’re killing me
Please, you’re killing me with all these questions
I’ve been trying to get along with you
Doesn’t matter what I try to do
Once you’ve started, there’s no stopping you now
What’s the problem, what’s the question
What’s the answer, where’s this heading
You keep talking, where’s it going
If there’s an answer, I don’t know it
Please, you’re killing me
Please, you’re killing me with all these questions
You’re explaining very patiently
I’m a problem, what to do with me
I keep listening but I just don’t see now
What’s the problem, what’s the question
What’s the answer, where’s this heading
You keep talking, where’s it going?
If there’s an answer, I don’t know it
Please, you’re killing me
Please, you’re killing me with all these questions
Please, please, please
Please, please, you’re killing me
You’re killing me
