WHEN IT FALLS (opening theme from RWBY Volume 3) - Jeff Williams feat. Casey Lee Williams
Guitar TAB
by Matty Jay ([email protected])
guitarist for Alyce Hart (www.alycehart.com)
I could NOT get this song out of my head and couldn't find any transcriptions of it, so
I sat down and learned it the best I could. This isn't 100%, but it's pretty close. I
believe there are at least 2 guitar parts, but my arrangement takes bits from both parts
and combines them into one main guitar part.
Feel free to e-mail with questions or comments!
Key of D-minor, Dropped-D tuning

Here's the song structure with lyrics, so you can see how it all goes together!
Intro: Bdim C7 Am Am7/G Fmaj7 E7sus4
Verse:
Dm
Maybe red's like roses, maybe it's the pool of blood the innocents will lay in when in
the end
you've failed to save them.
Dm
Their dying eyes are wide and white like snow, and now they know the cost of trusting
you is obliteration
Pre-Chorus:
Bdim/F C7/E Am6/9 Am Am6/9 Am Am6/9 Am
Mirrors will shatter, crushed by the weight of the world
Fmaj7 E5 Bbmaj7#11
The pillars collapse in shame.
Chorus:
Gm Eb Dm G/B Bdim
There'll be no rest, there'll be no love, there'll be no hero in the end who will rise above
Bb F/A
And when it ends, the good will crawl
C5 Bb5 Ab5 G5 C5 D5 C5 G5 F5
The shining light will sink in darkness, victory for hate incarnate, mis - e - ry and
pain for all
Cm6/9
When it falls
