WHEN IT FALLS (opening theme from RWBY Volume 3) - Jeff Williams feat. Casey Lee Williams Guitar TAB by Matty Jay (mattyjay@mattyjay.com) guitarist for Alyce Hart (www.alycehart.com) I could NOT get this song out of my head and couldn't find any transcriptions of it, so I sat down and learned it the best I could. This isn't 100%, but it's pretty close. I believe there are at least 2 guitar parts, but my arrangement takes bits from both parts and combines them into one main guitar part. Feel free to e-mail with questions or comments!

Intro: Bdim C7 Am Am7/G Fmaj7 E7sus4 Verse:
Maybe red's like Dmroses, maybe it's the pool of blood the innocents will lay in when in the end you've failed to save them. Their dying Dmeyes are wide and white like snow, and now they know the cost of trusting you is obliteration
Pre-Chorus: Bdim/F C7/E Am6/9 Am Am6/9 Am Am6/9 Am Mirrors will shatter, crushed by the weight of the world Fmaj7 E5 Bbmaj7#11 The pillars collapse in shame. Chorus:
There'll be no Gmrest, there'll be no Eblove, there'll be no Dmhero in the end who will G/Brise aBdimbove And when it Bbends, the good will F/Acrawl The C5shining light will Bb5sink in darkness, Ab5victory for G5hate incarnate, C5mis -D5 e - C5ry aG5nd F5 pain for all Cm6/9 When it falls
