Welcome to the Guitar Domination “Fingerpicking Classics Series”.

`Falling Slowly` is a great song from the film `Once` by Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova.

There isn`t a sweeter sound in the history of the universe than a beautiful fingerpicked song played well.

I just love how sweet the lyrics are too – so much so I have written them out below.

Have fun and prepare to be loved when you perform this amazing song!

Falling Slowly Lyrics

I don’t know you
But I want you
All the more for that
Words fall through me
And always fool me
And I can’t react
And games that never amount
To more than they’re meant
Will play themselves out

[Chorus]

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We’ve still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you have a choice
You’ll make it now

Falling slowly, eyes that know me
And I can’t go back
Moods that take me and erase me
And I’m painted black
You have suffered enough
And warred with yourself
It’s time that you won

[Chorus]

Falling slowly sing your melody
I’ll sing along
