Title: So far Away
Album: 14 Shades of grey
Transcribed by: Rt
This is a cool Song to play in a band if you have a good lead singer.
I have a video of Staind playing this live and the camera is faced almost the entire
time on Aaron's Accoustic guitar,So the Accoustic Chords 100% Correct.
i didnt tab Mikes Guitar in Ab because its works well for me in Eb.
I put base notes in the Electric Lead to give it a fuller bass sound,But he does not have base
notes i dont think.
Accoustic Guitar: Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb
Electric Guitar: Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb

Accoustic Intro
Just fool around with this,I didnt indicate strumming well,but you get the idea.
Just before he sings he doesnt pull-off the note on D,he just does a D.

Accoustic Bridge
Use these Chords in the Bridge,Aaron uses them in the Bridge,I saw him using them:-)
Just work out the Strumming.He puts in one other note with his pinky but i dont know what
and i cant hear it clearly.I dont think it is essential.

The End of the Song
Mike's Electric Feedbacks on a C,And Aaron Strums this Accoustic chord a few times
to End the song off nicely:-)
Eb----3--------------------------------------------------------------------
Bb----3--------------------------------------------------------------------

Eb------------------------------------------------------------------------
Im sure this is 100% Correct!
Even if the Electric is Detuned to Ab,it works Fine in Eb
