I've seen many versions of this song posted in this archive, but when played against the album version, they don't sound quite right. Some are out of key, and none of the fingerpicking versions have sounded right as submitted. Here's my spin on the song that sounds very close to the recording. I have added J.P. Seneviratne's chord changes and lyrics. "Somebody's Crying" Chris Isaak Album: Forever Blue
