THE FERRETS - DON’T FALL IN LOVE (Ian Davis and Kenneth Firth)
Tabbed by: David Adamec
Standard Tuning: E-A-D-G-B-e
I don’t think Billy Miller alternated between the A and G strings
in the intro and verses the way tabbed here. He pretty much hangs
out on the G string. I find using these tabs a bit more satisfying
when playing alone.
Also, on later live performances, the second verse lyrics has
“Big cars” in place of “Big town”.

2nd verse lyrics
Big town, bright lights with bow ties.
Underneath all there is is lies
Can’t you see they’re cheating all of you
They’re no good for you.
Don’t fall in love.
Don’t fall in love.
3rd verse
Long legs, short skirts with no tights
Ooh, underneath all there is is lies
Can’t you see they’re cheating all of you
They’re no good for you.
Don’t fall in love.
Don’t fall in love.
