“Little-ol’-3-chord me,” indeed

gdub:

What’s truly astounding is that Rivers refers to himself as “little old three chord me”, and yet this song uses a chord for every single root note on the guitar.

Holy crap. Bad. Ass.

Weezer.com: “Falling for You” Tab

[VERSE 3]
Em              Am7               
 Holy sweet god damn you left your 
D             Bm     G-G-G
cello in the basement
Em            Am7    
i admired the glowing stars
    D               Bm    G-G-G
and tried to play a tune
Em                        Am7 
I can't believe how bad I suck it's true
D                             Bm             G    
what could you possibly see in little ol' 3 chord me
Em            Am7              
but i do like you and you like me too
B
  I'm ready let's do it baby



[CHORUS 2]
B            C
 I'm shaking at your touch
D           G
 I like you way too much
   D         F     Bb  Eb
my baby i'm afraid i'm falling for you
B             C       D           G 
 I'd do about anything to get the hell out alive
   D                           G    F            Bb  Eb
or maybe i would rather settle down (down), with you (you)
G     F          Bb   Eb
Down (down) with you (you)
