"So Far Away" written by Carole King
from the "Tapestry" album  1971

                   A   Gmaj7
               So far away 
Dmaj7                       Gmaj7    Gmaj7/F#
doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore?
Em7             A               Dmaj7
It would be so fine to see your face at my door.
Gmaj7  Gmaj7/F# Em7                   A     Gmaj7  Dmaj7
doesn't help to know that you're just time away.

                               Gmaj7     Gmaj7/F#
Long ago I reached for you and there you stood.
Em7           A              Dmaj7
Holding you again could only do me good.
            Gmaj7  Gmaj7/F# Em7
         Oh, how I wish I could 
               A       Gmaj7    D  D/C#
         but you're so far away.

Bm                   A               Gmaj7   Gmaj7/F#
One more song about moving along the highway
Em7                A              Dmaj7
can't say much of anything that's new.
   F#m7                          Em7    
If I could only work my life out my way
 A          Em7             A      Em7  A  Em7
I'd rather spend it being close to you 
                       A   Gmaj7
        but you're so far away
Dmaj7                       Gmaj7    Gmaj7/F#
Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore?
Em7              A              Dmaj7
It would be so fine to see your face at my door.
Gmaj7   Gmaj7/F# Em7                   A   Gmaj7  D  D/C#
doesn't help to know that you're just time away

Bm                      A              Gmaj7  Gmaj7/F#
Traveling around sure gets me down and lonely
Em7             A               Dmaj7   
nothin' else to do but close my mind.
F#m7                                     Em7
I sure don't hope the road don't come to own me
        A        Em7    A          Em7
There's so many dreams I've yet to find

                      A  Gmaj7
       but you're so far away
Dmaj7                       Gmaj7    Gmaj7/F#
doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore
Em7             A               Dmaj7      
it would be so fine to see your face at my door
Gmaj7   Gmaj7/F# Em7 A              Gmaj7    Dmaj7
doesn't help to know that you're so far away
