Artist: Yo La Tengo Album: And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Out Song: Our Way to Fall Tuning: Standard A spectacular song off of And Then Nothing... and definitely one of my faves from YLT. A thing I would say to watch out for is the timing of the chord changes, as the timing is different with every verse and chorus. First off, the actual guitar part of the song is a simple one-note riff played throughout the whole song: |e-------------------| |B---1---1---1-1-1---| |G-------------------| |D-------------------| |A-------------------| |E-------------------| Now here are the chords used in the song: Fmaj7 F F7 G C A C* |e---0-----1-----3-----3-----x-----x-----x----| |B---1-----1-----1-----3-----x-----10----12---| |G---2-----2-----2-----0-----5-----9-----12---| |D---3-----3-----3-----0-----5-----7-----10---| |A---3-----3-----x-----2-----3-----x-----x----| |E---x-----1-----x-----3-----x-----x-----x----| INTRO: Play guitar riff for one bar, then: |Fmaj7 C |G Fmaj7 |F7 |F Fmaj7 |F Fmaj7 | VERSE 1: (play guitar riff for first half of the verse, then the chords) I remember a summer's day, I remember walking up to you, I remember my face turned red, And I remember staring at my feet

^Fmaj7 ^F I remember before we met, ^Fmaj7 ^C I re^Fmaj7member sitting next to you, ^F7 And I re^Fmaj7member pretending I wasn't ^Glooking ^Fmaj7

CHORUS 1:

^A ^F7 So we'll try and try, ^F even if it lasts an ^Fmaj7hour, With ^F7all our might, ^F we'll try and make it ^Fmaj7ours, 'Cause we're ^F7on our way, ^Awe're on our way to fall in love

F7 F Fmaj7 G C VERSE 2: (play guitar riff for first half of the verse, then the chords) I remember your old guitar, I remember I Can't Explain, I remember the way it looked around your neck, And I remember the day it broke

^F7 ^F I re^Fmaj7member the song you sang, ^F7 I remember the way you ^Fmaj7looked tonight, ^F ^Fmaj7 ^C And I remember the way it ^Fmaj7made me ^Cfeel ^G ^F7 ^F ^Fmaj7

CHORUS 2:

^F7 We'll try and try, ^F even if it ^Fmaj7lasts an hour, ^F7 With all our might, ^F we'll try and ^Fmaj7make it ours, ^F7 'Cause we're on our way, ^F we're on our way to ^Fmaj7fall in love

G Fmaj7 SOLO: |A F7 |A C* F7 |C Fmaj7 |F F7 | CHORUS 3:

^F7 You'll try and try, ^F even if it ^Fmaj7lasts an hour, ^C With ^Fmaj7all our might, ^F ^F7 we'll try and make it ours, ^Fmaj7 'Cause we're on our way,^G ^F we're on our way to ^F7fall in love ^F7 Yeah, we're on our way to fall in love, we're on our way to fall in love

OUTRO: (play guitar riff) We're on our way to fall in love Well, that's it! If you want to replace Fmaj7 with regular old C (x32010), I think that works fine also. Hope this helps. -George T.
