Whither Must I Wander by Ralph Vaughan Williams - Guitar Chords
<< Back to Ralph Vaughan Williams Song List
Version 1
Expriment with both barre positions for many chords to make the song easier to play.
For example, Cm on the 3rd fret and the 8th fret are both useful in playing this song, depending on the
previous or next chord. Another method that makes it much easier is transposing it down 1 semitone and
putting a capo on the 1st fret. Enjoy!
