Far Away chords by Martha Wainwright

Chords with lyrics

Far Away (music and lyrics by Martha Wainwright)

From Martha Wainwright's 2005 album


Transcribed by Jeroen Ashton from an acoustic recording (2004 Andy
Kershaw show). All my own work.


The tuning is standard tuning (rare for Martha!)


These are the chords you will need:

E minorEm    0-2-2-0-0-0

Em/9   0-2-2-0-0-2

C majorC    0-3-2-0-1-0

Cadd9Cadd9  0-3-2-0-3-0

G*    3-5-5-4-3-3

G+G    3-2-0-0-3-3

A minorAm    x-0-2-2-1-0

D MajorD    x-x-0-2-3-2


The Cadd9Cadd9 is not absolutely necessary, but she does use it.

The G* is a barre chord.
