Far Away keyboard

Far Away

• E7

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

   A7

  Amaj7

  F aug(variation)

   F#thing

st = strum

         A                  E                               A
And close to my heart he'll always stay.

Nelly and Faye.

On our island in the blue bay.

There's a boy next to me and he never will be anything but a boy at the bar.

              A            E                      A
How I love to love him from afar.

      D                 A                  *F#thing
When he walks right past me then I finally see on this bar stool I can't stay.

So I'm taking my frown to a far distant town
                 A      E                   A
On an island in the blue bay.
