Reasons To Leave Guitar Chords And Song Lyrics

Written and recorded by Kieran Goss. The guitar chords are in chordpro format. Also recorded by Kate Purcell. Kieran plays this on in the key of key is F# major. Kieran Goss covered the Christy Moore song The Time Has Come [ lyrics and chords ] also. It appears from the video that he's playing a little three chord job using standard tuning but that's not so. His guitar is not tuned E B G D A E. The truth is I don't know what way he has that guitar tuned. The chords which were worked out by Marc will get you through but it's not perfect, still God loves a trier. If any of you guitar geniuses out there have a better version, by all means send it to me.To play along
with Kieran Goss use a capo on the 4th fret. To change the key of any of these songs use the guitar chord transposer 
Hi Martin, Was just looking for the chords for Reasons to Leave by Kieran Goss and came across this site... really cool. I think that I may be able to help... he is playing in first position in standard tuning, but is tuned down a semi-tone... So he is playing around G shapes but effectively it is G flat. It really gives the whole thing a beautiful rich sound. Hope this helps cheers Scott.
Thanks Goes to Scott Harrow for this, well done, Martin.
