TITEL: Song For You Far Away
INTERPRET: (James Taylor) 1985
Roman Ruder from Germany
[Intro]
D  D9/B     D   D9/B
[Verse 1]
D             D/B
People around me are at it again - God only knows how they do it
One to another then back again
                             Em         A
Something keeps putting them through it
[Verse 2]
D             D/B
Me, I've been watching more than fifteen years - and it hasn't changed a bit
People keep talking 'bout a different line
                      Em   A
but it never seems to fit
[Chorus]
D         Bm       F#m Bm Em7       C    A
This is a song for you, - far away, far away
D         Bm       F#m Bm Em7  A        D   D4  D
This is a song for you, - far away from me
D         Bm       F#m Bm Em7       C    A
This is a song for you, - far away, so far away
D         Bm       F#m Bm Em7   A       D  D4  D
This is a song for you, - far away from me
[Verse 3]
G       G/F#     Em
Sitting here all alone
A/D            D   A/B       D     A/B
is bringing it on again, I'm gone again
G       G/F#             Em
Sitting here thinking of you
A             F#m        G   A4 A
is driving it hooooome again,   yeah
[Chorus]
D         Bm       F#m Bm Em7       C       A
This is a song for you, - far away, so far away
D         Bm       F#m Bm Em7  A        D   D4 D
This is a song for you, - far away from me
[Bridge]
G        E7/G#   A        D                  Bm G     Em      A
Open the door it takes me back    -    Ooooh it takes me back
Bm           E7        A       F#m             G   Em    A4   A
Mention your name and I'm gone again    -  Oh, I'm gone again
[Chorus]
D         Bm       F#m Bm Em7  A        D  Bm
This is a song for you, - far away from me
            Em7  A              D         Bm
When you're far away,  talkin' 'bout far away
Em7  A        D  Bm  F#m  Bm  Em  Asus4  A D
far away from me
