Subject: CHORDS: FORGET by THINGS FALL APART
"Forget," by THINGS FALL APART
transcribed by Aaron Kinney
[E] [B] [A] [Ab] [E2]
[E] [B] [A] [Ab] [E2]
And our a[E]ng[B]els:
our a[A]ngels sing [Ab] no [E2] more
As our chi[E]ld[B]ren
our chi[A]ldren go to [Ab] [E2] war
And no free[E]d[B]om
is [A] worth dying [E] for
As they're [E] fall[B]ing
they [A] fall at heav[Ab]en's [E2] door.
:
[F#] [Ab] \ [F#] \ [E2] [F#] [A] [E]
And the [E] sta[B]rs:
the [A] stars hide from [Ab] the [E2] dawn
And the [E] cit[B]y:
the [A] city greets [Ab] the [E2] sun
For she [E] [B]
and I [A] know what goes [E] on
And we're [E] wait[B]ing
[A] waiting til [Ab] we're [E2] one.

And the [E] ki[B]ng:
the [A] king has lost [Ab] his [E2] crown
And the [E] fo[B]ols
the [A] fools still own [Ab] this [E2] town
And they're [E] for[B]cing us
[A] us to come [E] around
And the Pri[E]nc[B]ess
the P[A]rincess won't [Ab] live [E2] on.

some notes on the song.......
i'm not completely sure if that's how the solo's played. that's as
close as i could manage. It's to be played along side the verse, with the
same timing - but instead of just hitting one note, hit the notes quickly
and repeatedly until the proper progression ensues. For the song itself, try
to just let your wrist have a field day. the beat is something like...
E EE E B BB B A A AA Ab E2
Ab doesn't have to stand on it's own, it's really just a suggested note for a
sudden slide down to E2.
make it fast, and add lots of distortion.
