Em D Em DJust how far, the east is from the west, just how far
(From one scarred hand to the other) You know just how far, the east is from the west, just how far) From one scarred hand to the other ... ----------------- I started with the version from ugudrum (Thanks Dude!) but I put the verses and chorus in order for the acoustic version. I liked how an Em7 sounded with C on "from the west." Also, I think the D/F# could be played as just D and the C/E as just C.
