Far from home ... a nice easy acoustic guitar part.....
Listen to the song to get the intro right .. .it has a strange(but nice)
strumming pattern whch is harder to write out than it is to play.
All chords are open .. .so play them at the first fret *except G*
which is on the second..(that might seem obvious to some people
but it is best to be told everything that struggle with nothing.)

The main verse goes like this ....
C
Its warm by the river, the wier keeps us clean,
C(sus4)/F C
the wood smoke and cigarettes are all that we need.
Marking the dirt with twigs and simple words spoke,
C(sus4)/f
kicking the dirt so that we can just ..
C
Dance the dance that plays it with the fire ,
B(flat) C
play guitar and he played it inspired.
B(flat)
You said you would leave it not ever underneath
C
the sky forever....
Then the middle part .. and chorus ...
G Dm B(flat) C G
When we're so far from home..
Dm B(flat)
no means of return ... there's so much that we have taught
C
and so much we have learned.
The last verse is the same ... the lyrics are :-
Its cold by the pane glass on the high street we played,
Theres always a penny in the music we made.
So far from home and , no means of return,
burning the bridges so we'd always..
Dance the dance that he plays with the fire,
play guitar and he played it inspired.
You said you would leave it not aver,
underneath the sky forever.
Its a really good song .. and not too hard either ..
bye.... have fun!

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 LEVELLERS 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.
