[Breakdown]
G#m
So come on, one and all
 to see the apathy

The rings of graced dead
souls that fill the tapestry

see a different fucking species

Across the Pennines, thin blue
 line and the night for The Fall
E
Would do something, if it
wasn't also half my fault
C#
'Cause I'm so high, my brain
can't even look at The Fall
C#m
And when you've reached the
top there's nowhere
 else to go but

How to play The Fall: key, chords and progression

The Fall by Lovejoy is built around A major (three sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯), with 6 chords in all: G#m, E, C#, C#7, C#m and G#m7.

The backbone of the song is C#m – G#m – E – C# (iii – vii – V – III in A major). In solfa, that is mi – te – soh – mi. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 4th fret and play the shapes Em, C, A, A7, Am, Em7 (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 17% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
