FALL ON ME   BY   KING'S X 

                        from Gretchen Goes To Nebraska 

Transcribed/Deciphered by Brian King 

Notes:  I have made this transcription for one guitar. 
There is an alternate fill in the third verse. I have included 
timing notes above the staff, using the standard system of 
1e&a 2e&a 3e&a 4e&a, where each one is a sixteenth note (or rest.) 
Therefore, 1&2&3&4& means straight eighth notes, and 1234 means 
straight quarter notes.  The numbers coincide with the onset of 
a note or rest.  Triplets are noted by: 1 b c, 2 b c... where each 
note is a third of a beat.  The time signature for Fall On Me is 
4/4, noted at the beginning of each staff.  NOTE:  STANDARD TUNING. 
Have fun.  My Internet address is: gt6851a@prism.gatech.edu. 
Call me if you need help.  Does anyone want a BASS TRANSCRIPTION for 
this song?  If so, let me know...

LYRICS: 

VERSE 1: 
A boy's own story, grows up to be a man. 
He catches the fall, he's given a second chance. 
Lightning flashes east to west. 

CHORUS: 
Love is falling on (pain), don't fall on me (pain). 
Don't fall on me (pain), don't fall on me. 
Love, fall on me. 

VERSE 2: 
Hand to hand, breath to breath. 
The boy to man, spirit and death. 
Lightning flashes east to west. 

REPEAT CHORUS 

REPEAT 2ND VERSE AND CHORUS 

Love, fall on me. 
I said, "Love, fall on me."
