I Can't Help It If I'm Still In Love With You

Words & Music by Hank Williams
Recorded by Johnny Tillotson, 1962 (#24)


   G     C         G         C       C7
Today I passed you on the street,

  F              Fdim     C
And my heart fell at your feet;

Cdim     G              Fdim     G7        C     G
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you.


          C          G       C      C7
Somebody else stood by your side,

          F       Fdim   C
And you looked so satisfied;

Cdim    G                       Fdim        C      C7
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you.


Bridge 1:

   F              Dm7        Fdim    C 
A picture from the past came slowly stealing

       G7                 Dm7        G        C    C7
As I brushed your arm and walked so close to you;

       F         Dm7                C       C/B      Am7        
Then suddenly I got that old time feelin

Am7/G    G      Fdim    G         G7       C
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you.


(Instrumental Interlude - 1 verse)

Bridge 2:

        F             Dm7   Fdim        C 
It's hard to know another's lips will kiss you

       G7     Dm7      G      G7     C     C7 
And hold you just the way I used to do;

      F           Dm7              F   C     C/B   Am7  
Oh, heaven only knows how much I miss you —

 Am7/G    G     Fdim     G         G7       C
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you.
