Two Shades Of Hope Acoustic chords by Foy Vance

Chords with lyrics

  • Capo on 5th
Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Key: Chord diagramC majorC

Difficulty: Novice

This version is from the Live at Bangor Abbey CD. Don't be put off by the complex-looking chords.
I've charted them below FYI. It's easy enough to substitute more simplified chords & still have it sounding
pretty good.

Of a somewhat distant man
