THE FALL - Teenage Fanclub
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Two ways of playing this: half-step down (Eb standard), or standard tuning capo 4.
I think it's much easier to play tuned down, but I've provided both ways of playing
for those who really detest detuning their strings. Did my best with naming chords.
Eb Standard Chords (relative to tuning):
A: x02220
A7sus4: x02030
C: x35553 or x32013
Bm: x24432
C#m: x46654
D: x57775 or xx0232
Dadd11/A: x02032
E: 022100
A*: 577655
Intro:
A A7sus4 A A7sus4
A A7sus4 A A7sus4
A A7sus4 A A7sus4
I fell into another world
C Bm A A7sus4 A A7sus4
I tried to discover what I was
A A7sus4 A A7sus4
I fell into my lovers arms
C Bm A A7sus4 A A7sus4
and I tried to recover what I'd lost
Bm
On this autumn day
C#m D
I feel the feelings I've lost
C#m D
Crossing lines I'd never thought I'd cross
Bm A A7sus4 A A7sus4
To uncover new ways
A A7sus4 A A7sus4
I turn my back on the city sights
C Bm A A7sus4 A A7sus4
And I climb into the mountains to see the stars
A A7sus4 A A7sus4
My eyes fixed time on those ancient lights
C Bm A A7sus4 A A7sus4
Like gravity makes fountains what they are
Bm
On this autumn day
C#m D
I feel the feelings I've lost
C#m D
Spend my time and never count the cost
C#m D
Crossing lines I'd never thought I'd cross

(you can hammer-on or slide up to the last note in each triplet, but I think sliding sounds better)
Outro:

C E D A*
C E D A*
The leaves on the trees shield my eyes from the sun
C E D A*
But the leaves that I see they won't be there for long
C E D A*
When I light a fire underneath what I was
C E D A*
I won't feel sad only warmed by the loss
Repeat outro as necessary
