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.)

C C(sus4)/F G

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!
