Band: Serafin
Song Title: Things Fall Apart
Album: No Push Collide
Tab Author: Erik Furlanis 2kpix@libero.it



Serafin is a cool british group; their formation is a classsical one, thy're in four,
and the singer also plays guitar. in this song it isn't so clear that there are two
guitars, they can be heard only in the intro.

this one should be the first singol from their debut album, and it's a f***in' damn' cool song!!!

VERSE

same chords as intro, if you listen to the song it's easy; to make it easier you can also
play full chords, or play an arpeggio by yourself...I think that covering a song doesn't
means copy it!

  Am		 Em

they almost turn to rage

	[bass coming]

"i felt that i was draining, i should have been happy
and no one should need nothing, you never needed me"

==========
PRE-CHORUS

C			   Em

	and it's always raining

C			   Em

	and it's always raining


======
CHORUS repeat twice

B--5-----5-----2-----1---
G--6-----7-----2-----2---
D--7-----7-----4-----3---
A--7-----5-----4-----3---
E--5-----5-----2-----1---

The rythm can be got listening to the song;Dsus4 can also be played (557955) or instead
you can play a Dsus2 (xx00230).
The first strum of each chord shoukd be sharpened on first string (E).

"californian girlfriend, i am calling from the end, californian girlfriend, things will fall apart again"

to-roo to-too to-too too...

every tired second, every heavy page
they fold into a nightmare, they almost turn to rage
i felt that i was draining, i should have been happy
and no one should need nothing, you never needed me

and it's always raining, and it's always raining

californian girlfriend, i am calling from the end
californian girlfriend, things will fall apart again
californian girlfriend, i am calling from the end
californian girlfriend, things will fall apart again

to-roo to-too to-too too...

everything you gave me, everything you know
it's my newest form of torture, my newest broken bow
i'm running out of fortune, running out of the pain
and i benefit from sadness and sadness cools my brain

californian girlfriend, i am calling from the end
californian girlfriend, things will fall apart again
californian girlfriend, i am calling from the end
californian girlfriend, things will fall apart again

and it's always raining, and it's always raining


californian girlfriend, i am calling from the end
californian girlfriend, things will fall apart again
californian girlfriend, i am calling from the end
californian girlfriend, things will fall apart again
californian girlfriend, i am calling from the end
californian girlfriend, things will fall apart again
