Chord Farewell Faded Memory by Weakerthans

as far as i know , this song is just by john samson , but everyone seems to post his songs under the weakerthans . . so i’ll just follow the trend for now standard tuning , no capo . he plays E , Esus4 , E , B , Badd9 , B , A , Asus4 , A , Asus4 , a in the intro , but for simplicity , i’ll write the intro and verse as "e , B , a" if you listen to the song , you can hear where he adds the variations , but it would just clutter it up if i wrote it out . E Esus4 B Badd9 A Asus4 and for the chorus C#m E | - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 4 - | B | - 0 - - - - 0 - - - - - 4 - - - - - 4 - - - - - 2 - - - - - 3 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 5 - | G | - 1 - - - - 2 - - - - - 4 - - - - - 6 - - - - - 2 - - - - - 2 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 6 - | D | - 2 - - - - 2 - - - - - 4 - - - - - 4 - - - - - 2 - - - - - 2 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 6 - | A | - 2 - - - - 2 - - - - - 2 - - - - - 2 - - - - - 0 - - - - - 0 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 4 - | E | - 0 - - - - 0 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | intro E , B , A x4 E B A hey , another numbing light of early morning E B A another pile of half - read books E B A nice and safe in my serene surroundings E B A evil smiles and empty looks E B A why justify why you can think at all? E B A i guess i’m far too safe E B A cry , falsify this turmoil of emotion E B A and you’ll feel no pain , but E B i’m pretty sure the sun will rise and C#m give me the strength to shield my eyes B A from all the lights and all the lies of compromise E B and i always try to understand C#m but looking back , it’s hard to B know that you were bought and sold A for a box filled full of spanish gold he plays the intro 4 more times , but slows down throughout , and bend the accent notes . listen to the song and it makes sense . then from this point until the ’ * ’ , just strum the chord once and let it ring . when you get to the ’ * ’ , start playing the intro/ verse riff again E B A i sifted through some archives yesterday E B A met you in a photograph E B A i saw your face and simply had to look away E B A i know that that would make you laugh * E B A so many things i guess i should remember E B A but i don’t know how E B A so many things so easy to forget E B A i guess i miss you now , but E B i’m pretty sure the sun will rise and C#m give me the strength to shield my eyes B A from all the lights and all the lies of compromise E B and is this a faded memory or C#m did i see you crawling B A out towards the open sea so sad and free E without me E B A oh , without me x3 E B A i bid farewell to the faded memory E B A then play around with the E and B for the end
