----------------------------------------------------------------------------
	     It's not the Fall that Hurts - The Ceasars
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Album: Paper Tigers

Tuning: standard (eBGDAE)

Here is my version of it.. It's quite a simple song and its good
Enjoy!=)

There are two guitars as I count them:
Gtr 1 Lead guitar-distorted
Gtr 2 Rythm guitar-distorted (to get the hollow sound, use your amplifier to
      decrease the bass.


So here it goes:

|--------------------------------------------------
|--------------------------------------------------
|---------9---------------9------------------------

|--------------------------------------------------
  
Whilst gtr 1 plays this (hold the tone until the word down in the lyriks) :

       Let ring <---------------------------------------------------->
B|--- 10------------------------------------------------------------------|
  All my life I've been fall, fall, falling up heart been tumbling down
  quick fast far from the stop I never learn just get up and go on until
  Im just knocked out off about feeeee.


Chorus

Here is the lyriks:

But it's not the fall that hurts
It's when you hit the ground
Co's its not the fall that hurts
It's when you hit the ground

The guitars play:

       Let ring <---------------------------------------------------------->
B|--- 10-------------------------------------------------------------------|
Stumbling with every step I’m taking it seems I can’t get a grip I’m soon gonna 

B|-------------------------------------------------|
slip and then I look down I see the per ground it’s

B|--- 10h11p10h11-------------------|
closing in fast again and then BOOM!

Then gtr 2 plays this short slide riff:

e|----------------|
B|----------------|

D|----7/-3--5/-3--|
A|----7/-3--5/-3--|
E|----9/-5--7/-5--|

Then comes this Bridge:
Gtr 1
e|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|----10-let ring--------------------------------------------------------|
G|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|

Lyriks: fall fall fall fall fall fall falling apart... x2

A clean guitar plays something in the bacground here, I think it's a B chord
listen to the song to hear how it's played

Then after two times the main riff comes in and is played twice:

Gtr 2 
(e|----------------------------------------------------------|
(B|----------------------------------------------------------|
(G|---------------9--9---7--7-------------------7--7---5--5--|
(D|--9----9--9----9--9---7--7----7--7---7--7----7--7---5--5--|  
(A|--9----9--9----7--7---5--5----7--7---7--7----5--5---3--3--|
(E|--7----7--7-------------------5--5---5--5-----------------|
(
( Gtr 1                                                 Let Ring  x2
(e|----------------------------------------------------------|
(B|----------------------------------------------------------|
(G|----------------------------------------------------------|
(D|-(7)~--9-11-12---11-14---11--9----------7--9--11--9-9-7-7~|
(A|--------------------------------11--7---------------------|
(E|----------------------------------------------------------|

Then the chorus lyriks is added too:
Gtr 1 and 2 keeps playing same as above and the choir keeps singing as well.

But it's not the fall that hurts
It's when you hit the ground
Co's its not the fall that hurts
It's when you hit the ground

Play this twice and then the outro:

 Gtr 1       Fade away
(e|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
