Helpful hints:
Put the capo wherever works with your voice. I put it on 3rd fret then use normal open
chords for most of this song.
The exceptions are two bar chords for the G# - G part (Far away...) with the different
strum pattern use a Bar-chord 4 frets up from your capo.
Where I say (B note) it is the second fret up from your capo on the A string to make
that nice move to the A7. You can leave your fingers in the open C-shape(or Am) and just
move the finger to touch on that B and then strum once.
In the first line that G chord is just a pluck on the root note and then one strum
down+up then E note. You can leave it out if you want.
**I Capitalized the letter of each Word when the chord changes on that word.
