10,0000 MILES - MARY CHAPIN CARPENTER
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Amber Jesse

First heard this song in the movie Fly Away Home when I was a kid living in Canada. Means a lot to me and
hopefully you can get something from it too. Translated by ear from piano.
If you're stuck here's some videos that might help:

Repeat.
If you're up for more of a challenge, you can try these base notes instead. More accurate, but a bit tricky:

Fare thee well
My own true love
Farewell for a while
I'm going away
But I'll be back
Though I go 10,000 miles
10,000 miles
My own true love
10,000 miles or more
The rocks may melt
And the seas may burn
If I should not return
Oh don't you see
That lonesome dove
Sitting on an ivy tree
She's weeping for
Her own true love
As I shall weep for mine
Oh come ye back
My own true love
And stay a while with me
If I had a friend
All on this earth
You've been a friend to me
