'happen to' is the definition.

'everybody with notes' is the wordplay.
'everybody' becomes 'fall' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'notes' becomes 'be'.
'fall' put after 'be' is 'BEFALL'.

'provide' acts as a link.
