Someplace Far Away
by: Hal Ketchum
D
Daddy brought home a photograph
G D
from the paper yesterday.
D
It showed a line of wagons
G A
Movin' someplace far away.
G
That picture made my Daddy smile
D A Bm
And it made my Momma cry.
G
Seems like Daddy's wagonload of dreams
A
have long since passed him by.
CHORUS:
G
And the dreams that make a sparrow fly
D
can make an eagle fall.
G
One that makes a rich man money
D A
Ain't no dream at all.
G
It's a crying shame to wake up
D A Bm
Just to find its all been broke in two.
G D
Careful what your dreamin' cause it someday may come true.
2. Well, he talked on all through suppertime
'bout a good prospector's life.
Couldn't see Momma didn't want to be
No good prospector's wife.
He said we best sail out and go
before the weather turns to cold.
Maybe buy ourselves an extry horse
to carry all that gold.
CHORUS:
3. Well, I got up as soon as the first light came
to start the mornin' fire.
Wonderin' if my Momma's will
Cooled that man's desire.
And inside the stove upon the coals
And ash and paper lay.
Was a ghostly line of wagons
movin' someplace far away.
CHORUS:
(repeat last line of chorus)
There! I think that should erase the brain fart.
Later.
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official KETCHUM HAL tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
