Walk Away Chords & Lyrics by Franz Ferdinand
Walk Away
guitar chords lyrics
Artist: Franz Ferdinand
Song: Walk Away
Album: You Could Have It So Much Better (2005)
Note: There was already a quite decent tab for this, but still some chords weren't
right. Also, that tab used capo, which is not necessary.
So here I go with my version, without capo and 100% correct!
Pay particular attention to the fact that the song changes between keys.
This means you have A and F# major and minor chords in the same song.
