Chord/Tab song: World Falls

WORLD FALLS (Amy Ray)


---------------------

[Actually in F; capo 3.]
[Each chord is half a measure, except as noted in the bridge.]
[Ds9(4) is Dsus9(4). I'm not sure if that's its "real" name. It's xx0030.]

I'm [D]coming [Ds9(4)]home [D]with a [Ds9(4)]stone [D]strapped o[Ds9(4)]nto my b[C(9)]ack[C(9)]
I'm [D]coming [Ds9(4)]home with a [D]burning [Ds9(4)]hope turning [D]all my [Ds9(4)]blues to bl[C(9)]ack[C(9)]
I'm [D]looking [Ds9(4)]for a s[D]acred [Ds9(4)]hand to [D]carve in[Ds9(4)]to my st[C(9)]one[C(9)]
A [D]ghost of [Ds9(4)]comfort, [D]angel's [Ds9(4)]breath, to [D]keep this [Ds9(4)]life ins[C(9)]ide my [C(9)]chest

This [D]world fa[D]lls on [G]me,[G] with [D]hopes of i[D]mmorta[G]lity[G]
[D] Every[D]where I t[G]urn, [G]all this be[D]auty j[D]ust keeps sh[G]aking me[G]
[D][in[Ds9(4)]strumenta[D]l][Ds9(4)][D][Ds9(4)][C(9)][C(9)]

I woke up in the middle of a dream, scared the world was too much for me
Sejarez said, "don't let go, just plant the seeds and watch them grow"
I've slept in rainy canyonlands, cold drenched to my skin
I always wake to find a face to calm these troubled lands

This world falls on me, with hopes of immortality
Everywhere I turn, all the beauty just keeps shaking me

[For the bridge, these numbers refer to the fret position on the D and G
strings, because I don't know what the chords would be called. All the
chords are x0'00. (These numbers fill in the '.) Each chord or group
of chords joined by a hyphen is one measure. (See the tab at the end.)]

22 - 44 - 66 77 - 66 - 44 22 - 20 22
[instrumental]
22 - 44 - 66 77 - 66 - 44 22 - 20 22
Now I'm running to the end of the earth
22 - 44 - 66 77 - 66 - 44 22 - 20 22
And I'm swimming to the edge of the sea
22 - 44 - 66 77 - 66 - 44 22 - 20 22
And I'm laughing, I'm under a starry sky, this world was
[E]Meant for me,[E] don't bury m[G]e, [G] carry me...

[Back to normal with the chords now.]

I wish I was a nomad, an indian, or a saint
The edge of death would disappear, leave me nothing left to taint
I wish I was a nomad, an indian, or a saint
Give me walking shoes, feathered arms, and a key to heaven's gate

Oh, this world falls on me, dreams of immortality
Everywhere I turn, all the beauty just keeps shaking me
This world falls on me, with hopes of immortality
(I'm runnin' to the end of the earth)
Everywhere I turn, all the beauty just keeps shaking me
(I'm swimmin' to the edge to the sea)
This world falls on me, with hopes of immortality
(And I'm laughing 'cause I'm under a starry sky)
Everywhere I turn, I got hopes of immortality
(This world was meant for me, I got hopes of immortality)
D Ds9(4) D Ds9(4) D Ds9(4) Cmaj9(6).

Here's some simplified tablature that should make the bridge a little
easier to understand:
