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...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

[Chorus 1]
E A
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
