 Subject: TAB:  Fear of Falling by The Badlees
 Date: Fri, 26 Jul 1996 21:42:35 -0500
 This is for a relatively new band called The Badlees.  This song appears =
 on TWO 1995 releases of the same CD.  It first appeared in early 1995 on =
 an independent label, and was re-issued in late 1995 on Atlas/Polygram =
 records.  The product number (for those who want to go hunting for it) =
 is 31452-9266-2.
 
 This is STRICTLY the author's own interpretation of the music, and for =
 those who think otherwise, I'll slap them around gladly.   :+}
 
 The lyrics are as they appear on the 1995 Atlas/Polygram release called =
 "River Songs," and on the web page for The Badlees:  =
 http://www.badlees.com/   These folks have all the copyrights, and if =
 you're worried about infringing upon them with regards to the =
 MUSIC...don't.  I worked out the music. =20
 
 I hope you enjoy the song! =20
 
 
 
 The intro on the song is a mandolin going through a pretty little =
 progression, but it
 boils down to D-C-G-D on 4/4 time.  The chords are to be played EXACTLY =
 WHERE THEY APPEAR ON THIS TAB.  If they're between words, play the chord =
 at that point.  This is not the result of a badly done alignment in my =
 word-processor.  But in any event, you'll get the cadence, and it will =
 flow with the rest of the song very nicely.=20
 
 
 
 Fear of Falling
         - The Badlees
 
 
         D
 Last night I dreamt of flying
         C
 Over hillsides in the snow
           G
 And I dove down through the clouds
             D
 Into the valley there below
                  D
 When the fields turned into parking lots
     C
 My freedom turned to dread
         G
 The ground rose up to greet me
            D
 And I jumped up out of bed
 
               C
 You can fly, fly, fly
               D
 Off to anywhere you choose
               C
 You can try, try, try
              D
 But eventually you'll lose
         D
 It seems there's always something
             G                C
 Tryin' to bring a good man down (stretch the word when sung)
     C            G
 I have no fear of falling
         D
 But I hate hitting the ground
 
 
 Searchin' through my sofa
 Tryin' to find some extra change
 I thought that I knew everything
 'Til everything changed
 Now I'm standing on an island
 That is sinking into the sea
 And all that I can do
 Is just enjoy the scenery
 
 
 Well, you can fly, fly, fly
 Off to anywhere you choose
 You can try, try, try
 But eventually you'll lose
 They say a man hears sweet, soft music
 Just before he drowns
 I have no fear of falling
 But I hate hitting the ground (repeat line)
 
 (Insert Solo Here)
 (Sorry folks, haven't figured out the rhythm part during the solo.  If I =
 do,
 I'll post an update to this song.  But I can say that it appears to be =
 some=20
 progression in Em.)
 
 
 You and I have politics
 There's lines that we don't cross
 And we live happily ever after
 Inside this little box
 But you just can't take a lion
 And throw him into a cage
 And expect him to be thankful
 For the shelter that you gave
 
 (repeat chorus three times and slowly fade)
 
 You can fly, fly, fly
 Off to anywhere you choose
 You can try, try, try
 But eventually you'll lose
 The more you try to cling to me
 The less I'll stick around
 I have no fear of falling
 But I hate hitting the ground
 
 
 
 Any problems with this musical interpretation are mine, and mine alone.  =
 If you have any corrections, please let me know! =20
