[Verse 1]
   Dmaj9   D6
So far a - way,

Dmaj9           D6          Gmaj7       G6
Doesn't anybody stay in one place any - more?

Em7            Gmaj7/A          Dmaj7   G/D Dmaj7
It would be so fine to see your face at my  door,

   Gmaj7   F#m7    Em7  G/A
It doesn't help to know you're just...
[Verse 2]
Dmaj9          D6
   ...Time a - way,

Dmaj9      D6                  Gmaj7          G6
Long ago I reached for you and   ...there you stood,

Em7             Gmaj7/A         Dmaj7 G/D Dmaj7
Holding you a - gain could only do    me  good,

Gmaj7 F#m7   Em7        G/A
How I wish I could, but you're so...

Dmaj9          D6       Dmaj9 D A/C#
    ...Far a - way!  |  /  /  /  /  |
[Bridge 1]
Bm                  F#m/A            G
One more song about moving along the highway,

G D/F# Em7               G/A             Dmaj7
       Can't say much of anything that's new,

   F#m7                            Em7
If I could only work this life out---- my way,

    G/A          Bm7      Em7           G/A
I'd rather spend it being close to you-----!
[Verse 3]
              Dmaj9         D6
But you're so    ...far a - way,

Dmaj9           D6          Gmaj7       G6 
Doesn't anybody stay in one place any - more?

Em7            G/A              Dmaj7   G/D Dmaj7
It would be so fine to see your face at my  door,

   Gmaj7   F#m7    Em7  G/A
It doesn't help to know you're so...
[Verse 4]
Dmaj9         D6  Dmaj9           D6
      Far a - way,     Yeah - ah - ee, you're so...

Gmaj7         G6      Em7 Em7 G/A  N.C.
   ...Far a - way!  |  /__/   /   /   /  |
^ ^ ^ [Bridge 2]
G/A                   F#m/A            G/D
Traveling around sure gets me down and lonely,

Em7                 G/A               Dmaj7
Nothing else to do,   ...but close my mind,

  F#m7                             Em7
I sure hope the road don't come to  ...own me,

        G/A     Bm7         Em7          N.C.  G/A
There's so many dreams I've yet to find------!
^ ^ ^ [Chorus]

    ...But you're so    ...far a - way,

Dmaj9           D6          Gmaj7       G6
Doesn't anybody stay in one place any - more?

           Em7    G/A              Dmaj7   G/D Dmaj7
It would be ...so fine to see your face at my  door,

       Gmaj7   F#m7    Em7  G/A      Dmaj9       D6
And it doesn't help to know you're so  ...far a- way,

Dmaj9          D6            Gmaj7         G6
       Yeah - eah, you're so    ...far a - way,

Em7      G/A         Dmaj9     D6     Dmaj9   D6
    Hey, ...you're so   ...far--- a - way-------!
