Tumble And Fall chords by Nanci Griffith

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:
C*
C*



Verse 1:
C*
You're a late night conversation,
C*
A telephone call and an inspiration,
      Dm             G                        C*
For a heart to recall . . . how to tumble and fall.

Verse 2:
C*
And my friends all say I'm lazy,
C*
I'm clumsy at love and I'm middle aged-crazy,
  Dm           G                        C*
I stumble along . . . with a tumble and fall.


Chorus:
Dm         G
Maybe I'll come back to my senses,
    C            G             Am
And come back to you where the fences are mended,
Dm                            G
Maybe love is a quite whisper after all,
C*                                   C*
Maybe love is a heart that gives you harmony,
                          Dm
When you can't recall the melody to the song,
G                    C*
You're just singin' along,
C
    Dm             G                         C*
Oh, I'll sing along . . . to your tumble and fall.


Interlude:
C*


Verse 3:
C*
I remember San Francisco,
   C*
The chill of the moon through an open window,
        Dm                G                      C*
And the beat of your heart . . . to a tumble and fall,


Verse 4:
C*
You say, I'm a little somethin' you've always needed,
C*
You're tried and true and I should believe in,
    Dm                   G                        C*
The strength of your arms . . . when I tumble and fall.


Chorus:
   Dm         G
So maybe I'll come back to my senses,
    C            G             Am
And come back to you where the fences are mended,
Dm                            G
Maybe love is a quite whisper after all,
C*                                   C*
Maybe love is a heart that gives you harmony,
                          Dm
When you can't recall the melody to the song,
G                    C*
You're just singin' along,
     Dm             G                         C*
Yes, I'll sing along . . . to your tumble and fall.


Outro:
     Dm             G                         C*
Yes, I'll sing along . . . with the tumble and fall.
