Archive of Harmony Central for FREE FALLING, use the following in TAB: I only used them on the part of the chorus, but is generally all the same throughout the song. Note that this is a very simple way of playing it. When playing it strum each chord up and down something like 3 or 4 times. Or just listen to the song. -------3-----------2---------3-----------2--- -------2---3---2-------------2---3---2------- -----------2---2-----------------2---2------- --------------------------------------------- -------3---3---3---3---------3---3---3---3--- -------3---3---3---3---------3---3---3---3--- And I'm free, free fallin' -------3-----------2---------3-----------2--- -------2---3---2-------------2---3---2------- -----------2---2-----------------2---2------- --------------------------------------------- -------3---3---3---3---------3---3---3---3--- -------3---3---3---3---------3---3---3---3--- Yeah I'm free, free fallin' The rest of the song is always the same (from Full Moon Fever, 1989) (Open in WordPad) www.TAB6.com
