Can't Help Myself   40 Years Live   Icehouse chords
Jam Along & Learn...
Can't help myself, can't help myself.
I almost can't when I'm playing that song,
because it is quite a strict little guitar riff,
and I sometimes look down and go,
because I'm having so much fun doing it.
it's that sort of funky guitar thing
which is not typical of Icehouse
funky thing going on, I suppose,

Can't help myself, can't help myself. _ _
_ _ I almost can't when I'm playing that song,
because _ it is quite a strict little guitar riff,
and I sometimes look down and go,
gee, I'm actually not in the right key, _
because I'm having so much fun doing it.
But _ _ _ it's that sort of funky guitar thing
that happens all the way through it,
which is not _ _ typical of Icehouse
to have that funky thing going on, I suppose,
but _ it's _ _ a great song to play.
For me, it's a hard song to play,
because I'm doing too much jumping around
and having too much of a good time
to actually play it strictly,
and I think if I played it in the studio,
you'd just have to sit down and concentrate on it.
Part's not hard.
To execute it exactly each time
is probably the tricky bit. _ _
_ Can't help myself again.
80s pick.
Love it.
_ _ _ _ That's just great.
That's such a strangely funky song to play.
I think we give it a little bit more _ _ _ _ swing
than it's got on the recording.
Whenever we get to Can't Help Myself,
I kind of remember its history,
because it was _ _ _ very difficult for me
to write those first songs,
but it seemed I was kind of getting better at it
as I went along,
and so that's where Can't Help Myself arrived.
So I never play that song without actually remembering
that whole _ _ process.
The thing that's good about that with this band
is when you start _ _ playing that song,
_ just with that feel,
I think people _ know straight away
that it's that song. _ _ _
I get a buzz off that type of thing
as soon as you go into that.
And I actually wait for it.
I actually wait for them,
_ _ _ _ _ and then they go, you know,
that part of it's a buzz. _
Can't Help Myself's another one I'm pretty busy in,
because I've got to do all the
d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d
for that whole song,
and it took me a little while to kind of get in, _ _
get in the groove of just playing that
for the whole duration of the song.
