Barley chords by Lizz Wright

Guitar chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

In album version there's no guitar part at the intro and first verse - just bass and some drum beat. The same
goes for outro. For solo guitar it's irrelevant though.
Also, I did this by ear and I'm not sure about that C chord which sounds pretty close, but not ideal.

Chords:
Dsus2 xx023x (mute last string - sounds better IMO).

There's a riff that repeats through the whole song which goes something like this:
e|-------------------------|
B|--6/8-6------------------|
G|--------7----------------|
D|----------8-5------------|
A|-------------------------|
E|-------------------------|
