It's a simple 2-chord song, with an up-tempo rhythm and lots of cool guitar work, both acoustic and electric. There are several guitar parts involved in this song, but I've only transcribed the rhythm chords and the main fingerpicking pattern. Have fun! Repeat this pattern for most of the song: |-------------------------------------------------------| |------3-----------3------------3-----------3-----------| |------------0-----------0------------0-----------0-----| |-------------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------------| |---3-----3-----3-----3------0-----0-----0-----0--------| (the low notes in the above pattern are probably only played by the bass, but they'll help you to keep with the rhythm of the song). The 2 chords you use for the whole are G and Em. Listen to the song to get the strumming rhythm and timing. Intro: G Em G Em (continue rhythm for all verses) Tell me why did I fall in love with you? Tell me why did I fall in love with you? Tore me all to pieces, cut me half in two Tell me why did I fall in love with you? Tell me why do my tears fall like rain? Tell me why do my tears fall like rain? Tore me all to pieces, nothing else remains Tell me why do my tears fall like rain? Worry, worry, worry Worry all day long Don't know where I'm going Don't know right from wrong Tell me why, tell me why Tell me why, tell me why Tell me why did I fall in love with you? Tell me why did I fall in love with you? Tore me all to pieces, cut me half in two Tell me why did I fall in love with you? Tell me why do my tears fall like rain? Tell me why do my tears fall like rain? Tore me all to pieces, nothing else remains Tell me why do my tears fall like rain? Fall like rain, fall like rain Fall like rain, fall like rain Fall like rain, fall like rain Fall like rain, fall like rain ------------------------------------------------ Comments, corrections: s_garner@hotmail.com
