Gone Away From Me chords by Holly Williams

Chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard

Difficulty: Novice


You start on an A minorAm for two beats then move the finger that's on the second fret of the D MajorD
string up to the second fret of the A augmentedA string for two beats (Amadd9Amadd9). Then A augmentedA regular C majorC
for two beats, then pull off on the D MajorD string for two beats (Csus2Csus2). I also like to pull
off on the BB string in the middle of playing the Fs in the verses.

Intro - A minorAm | Amadd9Amadd9 | C majorC | Csus2Csus2 | FF x 2

A minorAm  Amadd9Amadd9  C majorC      Csus2Csus2 FF
I grew up in a town with one red light
A minorAm    Amadd9Amadd9  C majorC    Csus2Csus2   FF
How that train would rattle me in the middle of the night
  A minorAm   Amadd9Amadd9 C majorC  Csus2Csus2  FF
But I slept like a baby in that bed
FF         G+G           A minorAm | Amadd9Amadd9 | C majorC | Csus2Csus2 | FF
Cause mama kept me warm and she kept me fed

A minorAm  Amadd9Amadd9  C majorC    Csus2Csus2   FF
July 3rd was a dreaded friend of mine
   A minorAm   Amadd9Amadd9   C majorC   Csus2Csus2   FF
We'd all go down to the family plot in the Louisiana pines
A minorAm   Amadd9Amadd9 C majorC   Csus2Csus2  FF
Staring at that little baby's grave
FF       G+G        A minorAm | Amadd9Amadd9 | C majorC | Csus2Csus2 | FF
Stella was as young as she was brave

       FF        C majorC
And what I'd give to go there again
        G+G          A minorAm
Kiss my daddy's face, hold my mama's hand
       FF          C majorC
Little did I know soon they would be
          G+G          A minorAm | Amadd9Amadd9 | C majorC | Csus2Csus2 | FF
Lying right beside her, gone away from me
        A minorAm | Amadd9Amadd9 | C majorC | Csus2Csus2 | FF
Gone away from me

   A minorAm   Amadd9Amadd9 C majorC    Csus2Csus2   FF
They always made us kneel by grandpa's grave
A minorAm  Amadd9Amadd9 C majorC   Csus2Csus2 FF
Mama was a-wailing asking God if he was saved
 A minorAm  Amadd9Amadd9  C majorC   Csus2Csus2 FF
I never liked to see my daddy cry
FF         G+G         A minorAm | Amadd9Amadd9 | C majorC | Csus2Csus2 | FF
I guess I'll never know how grandpa died

       FF        C majorC
And what I'd give to go there again
        G+G          A minorAm
Kiss my daddy's face, hold my mama's hand
       FF          C majorC
Little did I know soon they would be
          G+G          A minorAm | Amadd9Amadd9 | C majorC | Csus2Csus2 | FF
Lying right beside her, gone away from me
        A minorAm | Amadd9Amadd9 | C majorC | Csus2Csus2 | FF
Gone away from me

  A minorAm   Amadd9Amadd9 C majorC   Csus2Csus2   FF
You barely even see the tombstones now
  A minorAm    Amadd9Amadd9  C majorC  Csus2Csus2   FF
The trees are grown up everywhere and no one keeps the grounds
A minorAm    Amadd9Amadd9 C majorC    Csus2Csus2   FF
Strangers live inside my childhood home
FF             G+G       A minorAm | Amadd9Amadd9 | C majorC | Csus2Csus2 | FF
And I can't believe that daddy's really gone

       FF        C majorC
And what I'd give to go there again
         G+G           A minorAm
Kiss his withered face, hold her gentle hand
          FF         C majorC
But there ain't no way that will ever be
           G+G
They lie beneath that old tree,
        A minorAm | Amadd9Amadd9 | C majorC | Csus2Csus2 | FF
Gone away from me (Gone away from me)
        A minorAm | Amadd9Amadd9 | C majorC | Csus2Csus2 | FF
Gone away from me
        A minorAm | Amadd9Amadd9 | C majorC | Csus2Csus2 | FF
Gone away from me (Gone away from me)

   A minorAm   Amadd9Amadd9 C majorC     Csus2Csus2  FF
