Start Jamming...
I know that many of you are admirers of [G#] James Taylor.
I [G] am myself.
I don't know if
you know that he's also really a fine guitarist as well as a fine songwriter
and singer and I'd like to kind of get him out here to help me.
He was kind
enough to volunteer so [N] come on James.
Hello.
Hey that's him if you know.
[D] [G]
Okay this gentleman sitting behind me on the bass is Charlie Larkey.
[N]
He's sitting right on that bass [G] too.
We're gonna do a song for you called So Far Away.
[G#] [A]
So [G] [D]
[G] [A]
[Bm] [A] [D]
[G] [D] far away.
[F#m]
Doesn't anybody [D] stay in one [G]
place [Em] anymore.
It would be so fine to [G] see [D] your face at my door.
[G]
Doesn't [F#m] help [Em] to know [A] you're [D] just time away.
Long ago I reached for you [G] and there you stood.
[Em]
Holding you [G] again could [D] only do me good.
[G]
How [F#m] I wish [Em] I could [G] but [D] you're so far away.
[A]
One [D] [A] [Bm]
more song [F#m] about moving [G] along the highway.
[D] [Em]
Can't say much of anything [D] that's new.
[F#m] This life [Em] I weigh.
[A] I'd rather [Bm] spend it being [Em]
close to you.
But you're [D] so far away.
Doesn't anybody stay in one [G]
place [Em] anymore.
It would be so [G] fine to [D] see your face at my door.
[G]
Doesn't [F#m] [G] help to know you're [D] so far away.
Yeah you're [G] so far [Em] away.
Traveling around [F#m] sure gets me [G]
down and lonely.
Nothing else to do but close [D] my mind.
[F#m]
I'm sure you'll come [Em] to own me.
[B] There's so many [Gm] [Bm] dreams [Em] I've yet to [G] find.
But you're [D] so far away.
[F#m] Doesn't [D] anybody stay in one
[G] place anymore.
[D] It [G] would be so fine to [D] see your face at my door.
[G]
[F#m] Doesn't [Em] help to know [A] you're so [D] far away.
Yeah you're [G] so far away.
[Em]
Hey [A] you're [D]
so far away.
