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: Em 0-2-2-0-0-0 Em/9 0-2-2-0-0-2 C 0-3-2-0-1-0 Cadd9 0-3-2-0-3-0 G* 3-5-5-4-3-3 G 3-2-0-0-3-3 Am x-0-2-2-1-0 D x-x-0-2-3-2 The Cadd9 is not absolutely necessary, but she does use it. The G* is a barre chord. Em Far away G* Em Em/9 Em In some... call C Cadd9 C G Whatever... them all? C Cadd9 C G Whatever... us all?
