Song

Fallin In and Out of Love

by: Pure Prairie League

Most of the 1st part of 'Fallin..' is just finger-picking these

two chords: It's the same fingering, just moving up 2 frets.

F* G*

e|-----0------0------|
B|-----6------8------|
G|-----5------7------|
D|-----7------9------|
A|-----0------0------|
E|-----x------x------|

It's the fingerpicking that's tricky, but not too hard once you

do it several times. Here's the tab:

TAB:

F* G*

e||------------------0-----------0--|------------------0-----------0--||
B||:---------6-----------6----------|----------8-----------8---------:||
G||--------------5-----------5------|--------------7-----------7------||
D||------7--------------------------|------9--------------------------||
A||:-0------------------------------|--0-----------------------------:||
E||---------------------------------|---------------------------------||

0 1- 2 1+ 3 2 1+ 3 0 1- 2 1+ 3 2 1+ 3

(Fingering)

Probably the easiest way to master this is to first get the

chords down with the left hand.

Then, don't even look at the tab. Just look at the fingering

line under the TAB, with your right-hand fingers on the following

strings:

0 = Thumb, A-string

1- = 1st-finger, D-string

1+ = 1st-finger, G-string

2 = 2nd-finger, B-string

3 = 3rd-finger, E-string

These 2 chords repeat twice, then repeat 4 more times with the words,

then it ends on this chord, strumming slowly with the right-thumb:

A*

e|-------------------0---|
B|---------------5-------|
G|-----------6-----------|
D|-------7---------------|
A|---0-------------------|
E|-----------------------|

WORDS:

F* G*

More than I could feel...

F* G*

Touching what is real...

F* G*

All my mind is reelin' round...

F* G* Dadd9

Carolina's feelin' down...

A*

Today.

- (From here, it goes to the 'Amy' intro and song.) -

The last chorus of 'Amy' leads into the 2nd part of 'Fallin..'

as follows:

A G D

Amy, What you wanna do?

A G D

I think I could stay with you, for a

Bm E

while, maybe longer if I do... I keep

(shift into melodious finger-picking, with

occasional suspended-2nd's on the A & D chords...)

A G D

Fallin' in and out of love with you

A G D

Fallin' in and out of love with you

A G D

Don't know what I'm gonna do I keep

A D F* G* A***

Fallin' in and out of love with you . . .

(One last easy chord:)
