Guitar Tablature for "Falling Down the Mountainside" by David Gray

Song: Falling Down the Mountainside
Artist: David Gray
Album: Lost Songs
Version: Album Version
Transcribed by: Jeff Chester (jefferyryanc@hotmail.com)

I play this song tuned down a full step(i.e. D G C F A D) Tune down to play
this version along with the CD. For simplicities sake I will write the
names of the chords relative to the tuning ( hence when I write a C it will
actually be an A#) This is all my own work and may be freely distributed.

Intro:
C Bm G
D ----------0-------------2-------------3---------------
A ----------5-------------3-------------0---------------
F ----------0-------------4-------------0---------------
C ----------5-------------4-------------0---------------
G ----------3-------------2-------------2---------------
D ----------0-------------X------0------3---------------

Play this C Bm G progression two times. I like to hit the open low E string
between the Bm and G switch but it is not necessary.

Verse:
C Bm G C Bm G C Bm Em9 A Am Bm Em
D ----0---2--3--0---2--7--0---2---0---0---0---2---0-----
A ----5---3--0--5---3--0--5---3---7---5---5---3---0-----
F ----0---4--0--0---4--0--0---4---0---6---5---4---0-----
C ----5---4--0--5---4--0--5---4---5---7---7---4---2-----
G ----3---2--2--3---2--5--3---2---7---0---0---2---2-----
D ----0---X--3--0---X--7--0---X---0---0---0---X---0-----

You can play these chords with their normal voicings if you like but I find
these voicings fit well to the song and I've seen other instances where
David uses inverted chords as well. Play this progression once through then
onto the Chorus

Chorus:
Am C G
D ---------0--------------0--------------3--------------
A ---------1--------------1--------------0--------------
F ---------2--------------0--------------0--------------
C ---------2--------------2--------------0--------------
G ---------0--------------3--------------2--------------
D ---------0--------------0--------------3--------------

After the second chorus comes the bridge, it is as follows:
C Bm C Bm C Bm G x2

Ending:
Am C G Am C G Am C G Am Bm Em
D -----0--0--3---0--0--3---0--0--7---0---2---0----------
A -----1--1--0---1--1--0---1--5--0---5---3---0----------
F -----2--0--0---2--0--0---2--0--0---5---4---0----------
C -----2--2--0---2--2--0---2--5--0---7---4---2----------
G -----0--3--2---0--3--2---0--3--5---0---2---2----------
D -----0--0--3---0--0--3---0--0--7---0---X---0----------

So here is the whole song in a condensed version, listen to the CD to get
the rhythm.

Intro: C Bm G x2

Verse 1: C Bm G x2
C Bm Em9 A Am Bm Em

Chorus: Am C G

Verse 2: C Bm G x2
C Bm Em9 A Am Bm Em

Chorus: Am C G

Bridge: C Bm C Bm G x2

Verse 3: C Bm G x2
C Bm Em9 A Am Bm Em

Ending: Am C G x3
Am Bm Em
