Walk Away Franz Ferdinand
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.
Intro:
[Am] [G] [Bm] [F#]
[Am] [G] [Bm] [F#]
Verse:
I swapped my [D]innocence for pride
Crushed the [A]end within my stride
Said I'm [Bm]strong now I know that I'm a [F#m]leaver
[D] I love the [A]sound of you walking a[Bm]way, you walking a[G]way
[D] Mascara [A]bleeds a blackened [G]tear, oh
And I am [D]cold, yes, I'm [A]cold
But not as [F#m]cold as you are
[D] I love the [A]sound of you walking a[Bm]way, you walking a[G]way
[D] I love the [A]sound of you walking a[Bm]way, walking a[G]way, yeah [F#m]hey
Chorus:
[A] Why don't you walk away?
[A] Why don't you walk away?
[Bb] Why don't you walk away?
No [Dm]buildings will fall [Bb]down (don't you walk away)

[Am] [G] [Bm] [F#]
Verse:
I cannot [D]turn to see those eyes
As [A]apologies may rise
I must be [Bm]strong and stay an unbe[F#m]liever
[D] And love the [A]sound of you walking a[Bm]way, you walking a[G]way
[D] Mascara [A]bleeds into my [G]eye, oh
And I'm not [D]cold, I am [A]old
At least as [F#m]old as you are

The [Dm]Kremlin's falling [Gm] (as you walk away)
