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:

Far Away
I will live my life as a lobsterman's wife on an island in the blue bay.
He will take care of me, he will smell like the sea,
And close to my heart he'll always stay.
I will bear three girls all with strawberry curls, little Ella and
Nelly and Faye.
While I'm combing their hair, I will catch his warm stare
On our island in the blue bay.
Far away far away, I want to go far away.
*F#thing
To a new life on a new shore line.
Where the water is blue and the people are new.
* aug(variation)st
To another island, in another life.
There's a boy next to me and he never will be anything but a boy at the bar.
And I think he's the tops, he's where everything stops.
How I love to love him from afar.
*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
On an island in the blue bay.
Far away far away, I want to go far away.
*F#thing
To a new life on a new shore line.
Where the water is blue and the people are new.
* aug(variation)st
To another island, in another life.
*F#thing
I want to go far away, away, away. I want to go far away, away,
*F#thing
away, I want to go far away, away, ay ay ay uh ay uh ay
Where the water is blue and the people are new.
To another life, to another life.
* aug(variation)st
To another shore line

In another life.
