Franz Ferdinand - Walk Away

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 .
