wow, this is amazing. this cover brought tears to my eyes. do you mind sharing the chords and picking patterns for this cover? i would absolutely appreciate it. you did an amazing job, keep up the great work. =)
Sweet Jesus, I love your voice. I don't understand why you're still on YouTube, someone needs to discover you really soon. You have so much talent and I really want to hear your songs on radio.
Good job man this is the best cover I have found of this song. I was wonder what chords you used to play this song. Did you have a background recording of you playing other parts of the guitar to match while you sang along and played the other part? It doesnt seem like you played it all at once. However either way is good.
@TheMdillard349 Thanks :). I don't really know the chords, as I tend to play everything by ear. I also retuned the guitar to a custom tuning so all the notes worked! There is no background recording - it's all one guitar, one voice and one take (just lots of finger picking :). Thanks for the comment!
i was looking for a guitar cover of the song because i hadn't heard one that could maintain the feeling of the original, and then i saw this. congratulations on your talent, man. this was a great cover
I especially LOVE your guitar style in this cover, and your voice is really detailed on every note, I think it was one of the best covers I've come across. :) x
I'd forgotten about this cover until your latest video came up on my subscriptions. I'm just as bowled over by it as I was the first time. Beautiful stuff man, you're an inspiration.
absolutely beautiful.. one thing i love about sia singing it is the rasp in her voice but you did an amazing job at ful filling that song as a whole loved it
Beautiful cover! And love the guitar playing, perfect with the song :) I covered this song on my channel if you want to check it out =] I'm pretty new to the YouTube world but would love if you listened to my covers - I sing and play piano :D
tab is fairly simply... tuning is simply 4th string (G string) up a semi tone and 6th string (top E) down a semi town... capo on 1st fret... then plat 1st: 4th fret, 2nd: 6th fret, 3rd: 6th fret all others open... then drop down 2 frets to 2,4,4, then another 2 so open, 2,2 (like Em) and add in 3rd fret on top E... simples
@gematogenka A minor, C major, F major. In the key of A, this would be a progression starting on the sixth (minor), then moving to the tonic, and landing on the fourth. However, the fourth can really just be over G, making a G9 sus4. If you're going to add any color tones, keep in mind the song is, inherently, pretty bare. The A minor sus 4 works, as does a C6 or C add9, and the F sounds gorgeous as a major seven. Generally, just don't play any Bs too heavily... I think they're a bit rough here.
I love this song by Sia, and I really loved hearing your cover of it. This song always hits me, and you made me cry. Refreshing hearing it sung by a guy. Great job. :)

great job picking it! very true to the original and love it!
If i were to change 1 tiiiiny thing , id look at one of the tones in the " bass" (1:00 min is an example, the pattern of course repeats itself), in the original it goes down on the fourth note, that kinda completes the melody in the bass and cant help but i miss it a lil in your version. Not intended as critisism tho, loved the cover :)
can you pretty pretty please make a tutuorial on how you played this on guitar? i'm singing this song for Australia's Got Talent and i would absolutely love to do this version of it, PLEAAAAAAASE.
Would love you forever if you could post a tutorial. I've been practicing another version, but I like your cover the best! It sounds much... fuller, then the one I am trying to play.... Pleeeaaase?
hey :) really awesome cover, just wondering, could you possibly send me the tab/chords for this please?:) would be much appreciated, and again, nice nice nice cover :)
This is so righteous. Other covers I've seen have felt a little empty because the guitar hardly constitutes an orchestral kind of set-up like Sia has, but the way you've interpreted this to incorporate chords as well is awesome, and welcome amongst the single string alternating covers. I like the custom tuning, it sounds really cool :)
O god a guy playing THIS song on his guitar!!! I would totally do you. lol. jk. but not really. You"re good not only at playing but not to bad at singing keep it up
Ooh, I like this cover! Will definitely need to check out more of your stuff ^_^ Do feel free to check out my cover of this song if you're interested in another male vocalist's take on it.
i AM A VERY CRITICAL GUY AND IT PISSES ME OFF WHEN PEOPLE RAVE ABOUT LAME COVERS WHEN THERE IS SOMETHING THIS GREAT ON HERE - NO COMPARISON, THIS IS THE BEST COVER OF ANY OF THIS CHICKS TUNES ON HERE - GREAT JOB MAN.
