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

Song: Falling Down the Mountainside
Artist: David Gray
Album: Lost Songs
Version: Album Version

I play this song tuned down a full step(i.e. D MajorD G+G C majorC FF A augmentedA D MajorD) 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 majorC it will
actually be an A#A#) This is all my own work and may be freely distributed.

Intro:
       C majorC      B minorBm       G+G
D MajorD ----------0-------------2-------------3---------------
A augmentedA ----------5-------------3-------------0---------------
FF ----------0-------------4-------------0---------------
C majorC ----------5-------------4-------------0---------------
G+G ----------3-------------2-------------2---------------
D MajorD ----------0-------------X------0------3---------------

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

Verse:
    C majorC B minorBm G+G C majorC B minorBm G+G C majorC B minorBm Em9Em9 A augmentedA A minorAm B minorBm E minorEm
D MajorD ----0---2--3--0---2--7--0---2---0---0---0---2---0-----
A augmentedA ----5---3--0--5---3--0--5---3---7---5---5---3---0-----
FF ----0---4--0--0---4--0--0---4---0---6---5---4---0-----
C majorC ----5---4--0--5---4--0--5---4---5---7---7---4---2-----
G+G ----3---2--2--3---2--5--3---2---7---0---0---2---2-----
D MajorD ----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:
      A minorAm       C majorC       G+G
D MajorD ---------0--------------0--------------3--------------
A augmentedA ---------1--------------1--------------0--------------
FF ---------2--------------0--------------0--------------
C majorC ---------2--------------2--------------0--------------
G+G ---------0--------------3--------------2--------------
D MajorD ---------0--------------0--------------3--------------

After the second chorus comes the bridge, it is as follows:
C majorC B minorBm C majorC B minorBm C majorC B minorBm G+G  x2

Ending:
    A minorAm C majorC G+G A minorAm C majorC G+G A minorAm C majorC G+G A minorAm B minorBm E minorEm
D MajorD -----0--0--3---0--0--3---0--0--7---0---2---0----------
A augmentedA -----1--1--0---1--1--0---1--5--0---5---3---0----------
FF -----2--0--0---2--0--0---2--0--0---5---4---0----------
C majorC -----2--2--0---2--2--0---2--5--0---7---4---2----------
G+G -----0--3--2---0--3--2---0--3--5---0---2---2----------
D MajorD -----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.
