Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Artist: Yo La Tengo
Album: And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Out
Song: Our Way to Fall
Tuning: Standard
A spectacular song off of And Then Nothing... and definitely one of my faves from YLT.
A thing I would say to watch out for is the timing of the chord changes, as the timing
is different with every verse and chorus.
First off, the actual guitar part of the song is a simple one-note riff played
throughout the whole song:
|e-------------------|
|B---1---1---1-1-1---|
|G-------------------|
|D-------------------|
|A-------------------|
|E-------------------|
Now here are the chords used in the song:
Fmaj7 F F7 G C A C*
|e---0-----1-----3-----3-----x-----x-----x----|
|B---1-----1-----1-----3-----x-----10----12---|
|G---2-----2-----2-----0-----5-----9-----12---|
|D---3-----3-----3-----0-----5-----7-----10---|
|A---3-----3-----x-----2-----3-----x-----x----|
|E---x-----1-----x-----3-----x-----x-----x----|
INTRO:
Play guitar riff for one bar, then:
|Fmaj7 C |G Fmaj7 |F7 |F Fmaj7 |F Fmaj7 |
VERSE 1: (play guitar riff for first half of the verse, then the chords)
I remember a summer's day,
I remember walking up to you,
I remember my face turned red,
And I remember staring at my feet
Fmaj7 F
I remember before we met,
Fmaj7 C Fmaj7
I remember sitting next to you,
F7 Fmaj7 G Fmaj7
And I remember pretending I wasn't looking
CHORUS 1:
A F7 F Fmaj7
So we'll try and try, even if it lasts an hour,
F7 F Fmaj7
With all our might, we'll try and make it ours,
F7 A
'Cause we're on our way, we're on our way to fall in love
F7 F Fmaj7 G C
VERSE 2: (play guitar riff for first half of the verse, then the chords)
I remember your old guitar,
I remember I Can't Explain,
I remember the way it looked around your neck,
And I remember the day it broke
F7 F Fmaj7
I remember the song you sang,
F7 Fmaj7
I remember the way you looked tonight,
F Fmaj7 C Fmaj7 C G F7 F Fmaj7
And I remember the way it made me feel
CHORUS 2:
F7 F Fmaj7
We'll try and try, even if it lasts an hour,
F7 F Fmaj7
With all our might, we'll try and make it ours,
F7 F Fmaj7
'Cause we're on our way, we're on our way to fall in love
G Fmaj7
SOLO:
|A F7 |A C* F7 |C Fmaj7 |F F7 |
CHORUS 3:
F7 F Fmaj7
You'll try and try, even if it lasts an hour,
C Fmaj7 F F7
With all our might, we'll try and make it ours,
Fmaj7 G F F7
'Cause we're on our way, we're on our way to fall in love
F7
Yeah, we're on our way to fall in love, we're on our way to fall in love
OUTRO: (play guitar riff)
We're on our way to fall in love
Well, that's it! If you want to replace Fmaj7 with regular old C (x32010),
I think that works fine also.
Hope this helps.
