	I requested this son a little ago and received a description
of how to play it. This is the tab transcription.

	Maybe the C7 is played like (335353) instead of (032310), but
the strings you pick should be the same.

        This is the riff that is played for intro and verses:

    Dm       Dm/F      C7        G         Dm        Dm/F
e|----------------------------------------------------------------|
B|--------3--------3-------------------3---------3---------3------|
G|-----2--------2------------3------0---------2---------2---------|
D|--0--------3------------2----------------0---------3------------|
A|---------------------3------------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------3--------------------------------|

    C7           G
e|-----0------------0---------3--|
B|--------1------------3------3--|
G|-----------3------------0---0--|
D|----------------------------0--|
A|--3-------------------------2--|
E|---------------3------------3--|

        The chorus goes like this (I don't have the lyrics, if you have
them, please post them)

        Dm   C     G
        Jump back, gotta get outta here
        Dm
        Into the tour of mist and damp (????)
        C    G
        Jump back, gotta get outta here
        Dm                              C
        When will we, when will we fall   down
        G             Dm
        When will we, when will we fall   down

Here are the lyrics to "Fall Down"

She said "I fine, I'm OK", cover up your trembling hands
There's indecision when you know you ain't got nothing left
When the good times never stay
And the cheap thrills always seem to fade away
When will we fall down

Jump back, gotta get outta here
Been too long this time
Jump back, gotta get outta here
When will we fall down

She hates her life, she hates her skin, she even hates her friends
Tries to hold on to all the reputations she can't mend
And there's some chance we could fail
But the last time someone was always there for bail
When will we fall down

Chorus

For the last time conscience calls
For a good friend I was never there at all
When will we fall down

The End

Enjoy!!

Kurdt

	I can see how, looking closely with the lyrics, it is about a woman who feels her life and all the time with which she spends it is empty. However the chorus, "when will WE fall down," almost sounds like it's about when will mankind fall down. Not "when will she fall down," or "when will I fall down," "but when will we fall down?" I think it's saying that her feelings are not unique, even though she feels that she may be alone. We are all living facades of life and all our insecurities and emptiness will catch up with us later It's only a matter of time before something goes wrong and we'll have a major shakeup or a nervous breakdown. Or maybe I'm reading a bit too deep and beyond, but I think the "when will WE fall down" is significant.

	WHAT???? Only one comment on this song??? This song is not about a relationship. This song is about a girl who puts on the face of a good time happy party girl but deep down is very unhappy.

	When I hear this song, I think of my ex... how we always used to end things and then get back together... Now we've finally reached the point, after three years, when we realize that even though there's so much between us, it's still not what we need to keep us together. We see that we've finally fallen.
