Westering Home Chords
by Celtic Woman478 views, added to favorites 37 times
Chords and lyrics are for the Destiny album version of Westering Home (and this live version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHLmm3X766o). In the live version, the guitarist looks like he's playing an open E high up on the fretboard at the beginning of the song, and it sounds like the A and the B are also open chords higher up on the fretboard, so that is what I play, but playing the chords the "normal way" sounds nice as well. Note that in the last few repeats of the chorus, the song changes keys twice. (It goes from F to G to Bb, but since we're playing on capo 1 it looks like it goes from E to F# to A.) Also note that the intro portion of the song definitely has some variations on the E chord, but playing the intro through by just strumming the E sounds perfectly fine.Was this info helpful?
