NO PLACE TO FALL

(Townes van Zandt)

This is my favourite Townes number. Given a �Byrds� type folk rock 
treatment (time that was revived?) I�m 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 I�d never tell you no lies
I don�t believe it�s wise
You got pretty eyes
Won�t you stand me a round


        G         F#m        A
I ain�t much of a lover it�s true
        G         F#m        A        E
I�m here and I�m gone and I�m forever blue
        A
But I�m sure wanting you


The sky�s full of silver and gold
Tries to hide the sun
But you know it can�t be done
Least not for long

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

    G            F#m       A
But time she�s a fast old train
      G              F#m         A        E
She�s here and she�s gone, she won�t come again
             A
So won�t 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
