Far Away


One of my favorite Ingrid Michaelson songs and I noticed that nobody had tabbed it so I thought I would. It's my first tab so please rate. The song isn't that difficult. You just have get the rhythm right. I based it off of a live version I found on Youtube but it's the same as album. In the live version there's a capo on the 1st fret, so it's up to you if you want to it. I tried to get the chords lined up with the words but I couldn't unfortunately. These are the tabs for a few of the chords: E7 e ---|---|---|---|---| B ---|---|-x-|---|---| G -x-|---|---|---|---| D ---|-x-|---|---|---| A ---|-x-|---|---|---| E ---|---|---|---|---| A7 e ---|---|---|---|---| B ---|-x-|---|---|---| G ---|---|---|---|---| D ---|-x-|---|---|---| A ---|---|---|---|---| E ---|---|---|---|---| Amaj7 e ---|---|---|---|---| B ---|-x-|---|---|---| G -x-|---|---|---|---| D ---|-x-|---|---|---| A ---|---|---|---|---| E ---|---|---|---|---| F aug(variation) e -x-|---|---|---|---| B ---|---|---|---|---| G ---|-x-|---|---|---| D ---|---|-x-|---|---| A ---|---|---|---|---| E ---|---|---|---|---| F#thing e ---|---|---|---|---| B ---|---|---|---|---| G ---|-x-|---|---|---| D ---|-x-|---|---|---| A ---|---|---|---|---| E ---|-x-|---|---|---| st = strum Far Away A E A7 A E A E I will live my life as a lobsterman's wife on an island in the blue bay.
