Lady Don't Fall Backwards by Pete Doherty
Lady Don't Fall Backwards
(E9)
Once upon a time...
C
When the cold wind that blows
When the cold wind that
Fm Bb
blows in my heart was a
[Bb] Cm
summer breeze, and she would meet me in
Fm Bb
Chinatown for opium and tea
[Bb] Cm
And she always brought me flowers
(etc.)
Bb A
...see your eyes look like two marbles in your head
D B
Lady don’t you fall backwards
Em A
Come on and fall into my arms
(etc.)
Em A D
Come on and fall into my arms
*Couldn’t figure out the very first chord, closest I got was E9.
Also he switches up the chord progression a little towards the end;
I didn’t tab out the switch cuz I couldn’t figure out one of the chords –
if you figure out either of those spots please let me know.
Other than that it sounds identical to the CD version, unlike
the only other tab I could find for this song. Enjoy!*
