This is the chords for the Aurora cover version of Oasis 'Half the World Away' used in the 2015 John Lewis
Christmas advert. The lyrics on the advert version have been shifted around slightly and the duration is a
lot shorter than the Oasis original. I have added the lyrics and structure of the song to suit the Oasis
version but the key matches the advert version. Feel free to play around with the song structure and
lyrics as you please to match the advert :) (Remember to place a Capo on the 1st fret)
(You can also transpose down 7 steps with the UG 'transpose' tool on the left and play it at Capo 8)
