TOUCH ME FALL (Amy Ray)
-----------------------
[Each chord is half a measure; the tempo varies, though.]
[The Em's in the verse actually have some F# notes (and others)
 leading into the G chord, making them Em(9)'s.  Amy plays Em way
 up on the neck; x75000, I think.  Then Em(9) is x75070.]
[C(9) in the slow part is x32030; in the fast part, it's x30010.]
[G6=320000; D(9)=x00230.]

[intro]
 
G6     D(9)            Em   Em
   I'm waking from a dream
G6     D(9)              Em   Em
   The neighborhood is green
G6           D(9)                     Em     Em
   All the sounds I've missed, all the years
G6               D(9)              Em   Em
   Come down to wedding death and fear
G6               D(9)            Em    Em
   And all I've heard has been in vain
G6      D(9)      Em     Em
   Like water on a stain
 
G          D      Am         Am
  Touch me, I'm so beautiful
          G               D            Am    Am
Rub your hands across my head just like this
           G                  D             Am   Am
Come with me now, it's not worth it if you don't
         G         D   C(9)  C(9)
Are you hiding?  I am hiding
 
Em  Em  G6  D(9)    Em  Em
[instrumental]
 
Cypress moon, bald in June
Like the granite in a stream
Swamp Ophelia, I'm torn down
Let your waters let me drown
 
Touch me, I'm so beautiful
Rub your hands across my head just like this
Come with me, now it's not worth it if you don't
Are you crying?  I am crying

G     D     C        C(9)  G        D        C   C(9)
Jump, jump, jump so high,  watch me let you down
G      D       C       C(9)   G    D      C      C(9)
If I stumble, I will stumble; if I fall, I will fall
G         D            C          C(9)  G     D       C        C(9)
Trying to hold it like rain in a river,  everything is getting bigger
G        D     C          C(9)
Better this won't last forever
G     D   C   C    G     D    C  C
Touch me, fall;    touch me, fall

Jump, jump, jump so high, watch me let you down

Trying to hold it like rain in a river, everything is getting bigger
Better this won't last forever
Touch me, fall
