Gone Away from Me Holly Williams
So this is really easy once you get the hang of it but it takes a little time to get the
rhythm right.
You start on an Am for two beats then move the finger that's on the second fret of the D
string up to the second fret of the A string for two beats (Amadd9). Then A regular C
for two beats, then pull off on the D string for two beats (Csus2). I also like to pull
off on the B string in the middle of playing the Fs in the verses.

CAPO ON FIRST.
Intro - Am | Amadd9 | C | Csus2 | F x 2
[Am]I grew[Amadd9] up in a [C]town with on[Csus2]e red [F]light
[Am]How that [Amadd9]train woul[C]d rattle[Csus2] me in the [F]middle of the night
But [Am]I slept [Amadd9]like a [C]baby [Csus2]in that [F]bed
F G Am | Amadd9 | C | Csus2 | F
Cause mama kept me warm and she kept me fed
[Am]July [Amadd9]3rd was a [C]dreaded [Csus2]friend of [F]mine
We'd [Am]all go d[Amadd9]own to the [C]family [Csus2]plot in the[F] Louisiana pines
[Am]Staring [Amadd9]at that [C]little[Csus2] baby's g[F]rave
F G Am | Amadd9 | C | Csus2 | F
Stella was as young as she was brave
And what I'd [F]give to go there [C]again
Kiss my daddy's [G]face, hold my mama's [Am]hand
Little did I [F]know soon they would [C]be
G Am | Amadd9 | C | Csus2 | F
Lying right beside her, gone away from me
Am | Amadd9 | C | Csus2 | F
Gone away from me
They [Am]always [Amadd9]made us [C]kneel by [Csus2]grandpa's [F]grave
[Am]Mama [Amadd9]was a-w[C]ailing [Csus2]asking [F]God if he was saved
I [Am]never [Amadd9]liked to [C]see my [Csus2]daddy [F]cry
F G Am | Amadd9 | C | Csus2 | F
I guess I'll never know how grandpa died
And what I'd [F]give to go there [C]again
Kiss my daddy's [G]face, hold my mama's [Am]hand
Little did I [F]know soon they would [C]be
G Am | Amadd9 | C | Csus2 | F
Lying right beside her, gone away from me
Am | Amadd9 | C | Csus2 | F
Gone away from me
You [Am]barely [Amadd9]even se[C]e the [Csus2]tombstones [F]now
The [Am]trees are [Amadd9]grown up [C]every[Csus2]where and [F]no one keeps the grounds
[Am]Strangers [Amadd9]live in[C]side my [Csus2]childhood [F]home
F G Am | Amadd9 | C | Csus2 | F
And I can't believe that daddy's really gone
And what I'd [F]give to go there [C]again
Kiss his withered [G]face, hold her gentle [Am]hand
But there ain't no [F]way that will ever [C]be
They lie beneath that [G]old tree,
Am | Amadd9 | C | Csus2 | F
Gone away from me (Gone away from me)
Am | Amadd9 | C | Csus2 | F
Gone away from me
Am | Amadd9 | C | Csus2 | F
Gone away from me (Gone away from me)
Well [Am]I grew [Amadd9]up in a [C]town with [Csus2]one red [F]light
