These are the chords for Orianthis Drive Away, off her album Believe. There are a
variations of the song going around so I want to make sure that I dont cause any confusion.
1.For the album version, the guitar is in standard tuning, so simply play the chords
If you are playing on an electric with distortion, the Cadd9 and Dsus4 can sound a bit
so I would replace them with simple C and D major chords.
2.Orianthi also has an acoustic version of this song on Youtube:

This is the video which I watched to find out the chords for this song. For this
youll need to tune the guitar down half a step if you want to play along using the
below.
If you want to truly replicate Orianthis playing, youll want to play the barre chord
of Em and D in the verses. She also uses some unorthodox voicings for the open chords.
can confirm this by watching the video, where her hands are right in view.
Orianthis chords
Cadd9 x3x033
G 3x0033
Em 033003
3.Finally, I also have a cover of this song on Youtube:

Mine is a slight variation of Orianthis acoustic rendition. I am also tuned down half a
The difference is that Im using the more common voicings for the open chords I just
it sounds better this way.
