"With My Face On The Floor"
(Emitt Rhodes)
Notes from AWR: The key riff of the song can be expressed as one or
more measures in 6/4 time, usually followed by a measure in 2/4:
(piano arr. for guitar):
v v v v v v v v
Intro:
(6/4 measure w/piano; 2 6/4 measures w/band; 2/4 measure w/band)
Verse 1:
Well, I'm down with my face on the floor
Yes, I got what I asked for and more
Well, the moment she stepped through that door
I was down with my face on the floor
(6/4 measure w/piano; 6/4 measure w/band; 2/4 measure w/band)
Verse 2:
Now I'm standin' with back to the wall
Waitin', prayin, see (unintelligible) fall
Well, I must have been onto it all
Now I'm standin' with back to the wall
(6/4 measure w/band; fuzz guitar doubles piano octave lower)
Well now she's gone away, just in time to say
Eb (6/4 measure w/fuzz guitar)
I'll drop you a line (drop you a line)
Well now she's gone away, just in time to say
Eb (6/4 and 2/4 measures w/fuzz guitar)
I'll see you sometime
(guitar solo over verse chords)
(6/4 measure w/fuzz guitar)
(repeat chorus)
(repeat verse 1)
Coda:
(rit.)
Well, the moment she stepped through that door
I was down with my face on the floor
(6/4 measure w/piano; repeat 6/4 measure w/band to fade)
