Way Away
by Toad the Wet Sprocket
off the "Bread and Circus" CD
 
contributed by Ryan Houlette
 
[Intro]
D Em7 G   (x2)
 
(When you play the D, you should hammer on the A on the 3rd string)
 
[Verse 1]
D                 Em7       G
Line of people to pass you by,
       D                   Em7        G
Posing sympathy with their whitewash eyes
D                     Em7       G
Ladies feigning their mourning cries
        D                 Em7       G
And the men shaking hands
 
[Chorus]
A      G
Weigh  Away
A   G
Way away
G       C                D/F#
All the pictures in your mind
          G           D         Cadd9
As you're passed the thousandth time
           Cadd9
Thousandth photograph
 
[Verse 2]
D               Em7    G
Listen to sympathetic lies
         D                    Em7       G
As their reasons change under mourning guise
         D                  Em7       G
With the gentlemen feigning sorrowed sighs
    D                   Em7     G
And drinking champagne
 
[Chorus]
A     G
Weigh Away
A   G
Way away
G          C               D/F#
As all the people pass and pose
         G        D         Cadd9
You hold back the tears and hold
     Cadd9
On to memories
 
[Verse 3]
D                       Em7    G
Small talk hangs like a dirty cloud
       D                Em7        G
Saying nothing real but deafening loud
   D                Em7       G
An urge to run away from the crowd
    D               Em7       G
And mourn all alone
D                 Em7 G
Make a promise to no-one
D                  Em7        G
Wondering if you'd been worthwhile
D                  Em7  G
Turn away from the chatter
        D             Em7  G
And the hungry smiles

I think this sounds a little closer: ... all the (C) pictures in your (Dsus2) mind as you’re (G) passed the (Dsus2) thousandth (C9) time. Thousandth photograph. (Dsus2) listen to (Em) sympathetic... And like many Toad songs, the D’s are mostly Dsus2. And also there’s hammering on more than just that D Chord. The Em is also hammered and some other ones too.
