NO PLACE TO FALL

(Townes van Zandt)

This is my favourite Townes number. Given a Byrds type folk rock 
treatment (time that was revived?) Im sure it could be a huge hit for 
someone. I put the fret numbers in parentheses behind the chords - it 
helps to get the right sound. Originally appeared on Flying Shoes but 
the best version is on Townes live album: Rain on a Conga Drum.

(intro)  D(5) - hammer on B  D7(5) - hammer on/off B   G   D 
	   Em   G   Em   D

D(5)          (+/- B)        D7(5)  (+/-B)
Well if I had no place to fall

      G      D
And I needed to

        Em       G
Could I count on you

          D             
To lay me down


Well Id never tell you no lies
I dont believe its wise
You got pretty eyes
Wont you stand me a round


        G         F#m        A
I aint much of a lover its true
        G         F#m        A        E
Im here and Im gone and Im forever blue
        A
But Im sure wanting you


The skys full of silver and gold
Tries to hide the sun
But you know it cant be done
Least not for long

And if we help each other grow
While the light of day
Smiles down our way
Oh we cant go wrong

    G            F#m       A
But time shes a fast old train
      G              F#m         A        E
Shes here and shes gone, she wont come again
             A
So wont you take my hand

Well if I had no place to fall
And I needed to
Could I count on you
To lay me down
