Song: The Fallen
Artist: Franz Ferdinand
Album: You Could Have It So Much Better
This is a great song and I don’t think the tabs already on the site are very accurate.
In the verses and choruses, there really aren’t that many differences other than how many
times certain bars are played. I have spaced the notes according to timing but if you’re
not sure of the timing, post a comment and I’ll help you out. If you want to print this,
use the Courier New font, size 9. It should work out so that each line of tab is
completely on the same page. Enjoy!
