Knock Me Down
I was awed into dismay when I saw no trace of this song on the internet. So
I decided to figure it out (guitar-wise). I find that some of the lead
guitar lines are difficult to figure out so I have just transcribed the
simplest chordal parts of this song. I am not sure that most of the minor
chords are sevenths but the song has a cool sound to it and minor sevenths
usually do that. So examine this and write back if you find a problem or if
you want to discuss how it is possible for an object~s dimension to approach
infinity while it~s mass approaches zero while approaching the speed of light.
The opening riff is:
E ---------------------|-------------------------|---------------------|---|
B -------------------6-|-------------------6h8p6-|-------------------6-|---|
G -------------------7-|-------------------7-----|-------------------7-|-2-|
D -------------------7-|-------------------7-----|-------------------7-|-3-|
A -----3--0-7-0-3-5----|-----3--0-7-0-3-5--------|-----3--0-7-0-3-5----|-3-|
E -3h5-----------------|-3h5---------------------|-3h5-----------------|-1-|
Of course you hold the F chord at the end then the verse appears:
Dm Am7 Gm7
Never too soon to be through
Dm C Bb
Being cool too much too soon
Dm Am7 Gm7
Too much for me, too much for you
A5 Bb
You~re gonna lose in time
Em7 Bm7 Am7*
Don~t be afraid to show your friends
Em7 D C
That you hurt inside, inside
Em7 Bm7
Pain~s part of life
Am7*
Don~t hide behind your false pride
B5 C
It~s a lie, you lie
D5 C5
If you see me getting mighty
D5 C5
If you see me getting high
Am Em
Knock me down
Em(?)
I~m not bigger than life
D5 C5
If you see me getting mighty
D5 C5
If you see me getting high
Am Em
Knock me down
Em(?)
I~m not bigger than life
Dm Am7 Gm7 Dm C Bb
Dm Am7 Gm7
I~m tired of being untouchable
Dm C Bb
I~m not above the love
Dm Am7 Gm7
I~m part of you and you~re part of me
A5 Bb
Why did you go away
Em7 Bm7 Am7*
Finding what you~re looking for can end up
C#m7 G#m7 F#m7
Being such a bore
Em7 Bm7 Am7*
I pray for you most everyday, I pray for you
C#m7 G#m7 F#m7
Now fly away
D5 C5
If you see me getting mighty
D5 C5
If you see me getting high
Am Em
Knock me down
Em(?)
I~m not bigger than life
D5 C5
If you see me getting mighty
D5 C5
If you see me getting high
Am Em
Knock me down
Em(?)
I~m not bigger than life
(very quickly now, the guitar and bass plays:
G ---------
D --------- When the guitar plays the 6th fret (the Bb note), it also plays
A -5p0-7--- a power chord on it and therefore from that note the guitar
E -------6- plays a series of chords that go:
Bb5 G5 G5/Bb5 F5 C5 Bb5
Cool solo part: A5 F A5 F G5 F A
all I just did here was to write down the rhythm chords, I have and will not
do the solo (as little as it may seem). If you listen to the album, you can
figure out how these chords come in. The G5/Bb5 part is when the guitar
slides from G5 to Bb5. Listen and you shall hear, my child. Anyway, the
rest goes something like this:
D5 C5
If you see me getting mighty
D5 C5
If you see me getting high
Am Em
Knock me down
Em(?)
I~m not bigger than life
D5 C5
If you see me getting mighty
D5 C5
If you see me getting high
Am Em
Knock me down
Em(?)
I~m not bigger than life
D5 C5
If you see me getting mighty
D5 C5
If you see me getting high
Am Em
Knock me down
Em(?)
I~m not bigger than life
D5 C5
If you see me getting mighty
D5 C5
If you see me getting high
Am Em
Knock me down
Em(?)
I~m not bigger than life
F#5 E5
If you see me getting mighty
F#5 E5
If you see me getting high
C#m G#m
Knock me down
E B
I~m not bigger than life
F#5 E5
If you see me getting mighty
F#5 E5
If you see me getting high
C#m G#m
Knock me down
E B
I~m not bigger than life
C#m E B
C#m E B
C#m E B
It~s so lonely when you don~t even know yourself, it~s so lonely
C#m E B
It~s so lonely when you don~t even know yourself, it~s so lonely...
Please escuse all the redudancy and other things. I shall explain the
chords now and how I play them. Please remember that this is my best
estimate of this sad song. Anyway, before explaining every chords,
I must explain that the Em(?) chord does not really exist.
I am not sure if there is another chord that ends the normal chorus so
I presume that the Em chord sustains. So my denoting Em(?) means that
I am not sure if it is the Em chord that is playing at that time.
And also, my ways of playing these chords are not by gospel.
Anyway, here we go:
E A D G B E

Now that I have wasted countless computer space (and if this is printed out,
the trees will die). But I hope this helps out a lot. Bye-bye...
