Further Away - Ben Howard
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Neil Wicker
E-mail: wicker101@hotmail.co.uk
Tuning: full step down (sounds fine in standard, but needs to be a step down to be
in the original key)
**please note**
If you want to play this song and don'd mind re-tuning a lot go and learn the
other tab that's up, it details the way Ben plays the song.
if anyone wants a more detailed tab (such as fingerpicking patterns for the chorus) just comment.

I don't think this is right. On YouTube theres a video of Ben playing this song and he has a capo on the 5th fret but he leaves the 2 smaller strings open. Maybe this is different version?
this is a standard tuning version. Yes Ben plays it with capo on 5, top 2 strings open and in CGCGGC tuning. This is for people who want to play it in standard tuning. It's not gonna sound perfect to the original but you can judge what you think for yourself by listening to a recording I made here - https://soundcloud.com/wicker101/further-away
It should give you a base guide to come up with your own way of playing it.
