WATCHING YOU FALL (Savatage)


    Piano:  The left hand is playing an ocative bass. F to a higher F &
            G to a higher G.  Roll them quickly.
            The right hand is playing  Gm to F. You start the Gm chord one
            beat after you play the higher G in the bass. Follow this pattern
            through all 3 verses.
   Verse 1  ( Gm to F )
       There in the dark there's a child and she's waiting.
       Lost in the maze of a fait accomoli.
       Is it a crime to be just hesitating?
       While were pretending that we never see.
            (The song builds up in Gm)
       Cm     Gm       Gm  Cm      Cm/Ab            Bb
       On     a        T---V      mounted  on the  wall.
       Cm     Gm    Gm     Cm     Cm/Ab          Bb
       From   this  dista--nce     I can see it  all.
             Cm   Gm    Gm   Cm      Ab               Bb            Cm
       And  I've  been  out  here.   Watching you     Watching you  fall.

---     Okay all you piano Dudes and Dudettes....When it hits Cm your fill
is based
   on these chords. Keep a C sustained for the bass note throughout pattern:
                            Cm   Gm   Fm   Eb
    Here are the actual notes in the scale: I broke them down into four groups
    to make it easier.
         Eb  C  G  C /  D  Bb  G  Bb /  C  Ab  F  Ab /  Bb G Eb /

   Verse 2  (Gm to F)
         Is there a trick to the art of not feeling.
         Safe in our world while another's child bleeds.
         Praying that GOD won't demand a redealing.
         Of the cards we have held and pretened you don't need.
            (Repeat bridge and chorus from above)


     Dm               A/C#                C                 G/B
       Better not to  think  about it.   And in time we'll start to doubt it.
       Bb                 C                 Dm                   C
       Christ has risen.  Keep him hidden.  God forbid He sees.
     Dm                  A/C#                  C          G/B
       It's not that we  lack  the vision.    Only just a quick decision.
       Bb                    C                   Dm                    C
       Who will blame us?    Rules restrain us.  It's all in  History.
                (guitar solo is rhythm is  Gm  to Dm)
  Verse 3  (Gm to F)
       So close my eyes and pretened I am sleeping.
       Avoiding the chance that you'll visit my dreams.
            (Repeat the bridge and chorus)
   Ab               Bb              Ab             Bb
   Watching you     Watching you    Watching you   Watching you  etc..
