FALLING DOWN  (Tom Waits)    [tab by: AL#13]

capo on 4th fret

intro:  A   E  (2x)
 
          A                 E
I've come 500 miles just to see a halo
A                           E
Come from st. Petersburg, Scarlett and me
       A                   E
Well I open my eyes, I was blind as can be
         A                   E
When you give a man luck, he must fall in the sea
        Bm                         E
And she wants you to steal and get caught
        Bm                         E
For she loves you for all that you are not

             A                     E
When you�re falling down, falling down
             A                           E            (hold)
When you�re falling down, falling down, falling down


You forget all the roses, don�t come around on sunday
She�s not gonna choose you for standing so tall
Go on and take a swig of that poison and like it
And don�t ask for silverware, don�t ask for nothing
Go on and put your ear to the ground
You know you will be hearing that sound......falling down.

You�re falling down, falling down
Falling down, falling down, falling down

[solo] (on verse crd)

When you�re falling down, falling down, falling down


Go on down and see that wrecking ball come swinging on along
Everyone knew that hotel was a goner
They broke all the windows, they took all the door knobs
And they hauled it away in a couple of days
Now someone yell timber and take off your hat
It�s a lot smaller down here on the ground

You�re falling down, falling down, falling down
Falling down, falling down, falling down

Someone�s falling down, falling down, falling down
Falling down, falling down, falling...down
