THIS IS THE CHORD PROGRESSION OF FAR AWAY BY DODIE CLARK ON PIANO, GUITAR, UKULELE AND KEYBOARD.

[Intro] E Cmaj7

[Verse 1] E
Fly me away to town me
E
Population lacking, as you can see
Cmaj7
Just a girl with a bow in her hair
Cmaj7
Making her mistakes where no one can care
E
Cities are pretty but I’m pretty done
E
With this outside world when I’m not even in one
Cmaj7
So watch me go, with empty hands, a refreshed mind and nothing planned[Chorus] E6                              Esus2
I’m far away and worry free
Esus4
Friends with the sun and the fish in the sea
E6                        Esus2                                               Esus4
Happy in my palm tree pad, it’s the easiest day I’ve ever had
E6           Esus4                        Esus4
You can’t tell me what to do
E6                        Esus4                        Esus4
Maybe I’m just better off without any of you

[Interlude]

E Cmaj7

[Verse 2]

E
Sure it’s lonely on your own
E Cmaj7
But I’m so free now that I’m alone
Cmaj7
No deadlines no worries no dates
Cmaj7
No “hello, I’m sorry but I’m running late”
E
Tell me are you tempted by the thought of a place
E
Where you stay for a day without a trace
Cmaj7
So watch me go with empty hands, a refreshed mind and nothing planned[Chorus] E6                        Esus2
I’m far away and worry free
Esus4
Friends with the sun and the fish in the sea
E6                        Esus2                                               Esus4
Happy in my palm tree pad, it’s the easiest day I’ve ever had
E6                        Esus4       Esus4
You can’t tell me what to do
E6                        Esus4                        Esus4
Maybe I’m just better off without any of you

[Outro] E
Don’t talk to me today
Cmaj7
I’ll be with the waves
E
Don’t talk to me today
Cmaj7                        E
I’ll be with, I’ll be with the waves.

How to play Far Away: key, chords and progression

Far Away by Dodie Clark is in the key of C major (no sharps or flats). The song uses 5 chords: E, Cmaj7, Esus4, E6 and Esus2.

The progression the song keeps returning to is Cmaj7 – E – Cmaj7 – Esus4 (Imaj7 – III – Imaj7 – IIIsus4 in C major). In solfa, that is doh – mi – doh – mi. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 7th fret and play the shapes A, Fmaj7, Asus4, A6, Asus2 (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 60% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
