----------------------------------------------------------- So Far Away - Avenged Sevenfold Nightmare -----------------------------------------------------------
Here's a new song off A7X's new album, Nightmare. One of my favorite songs, and pretty easy to play. Listen to the song for the strumming, very easy to figure out. Also, the timing on the solos are a bit off with some notes, listen to the solos to get a feel for the notes. Note - the 2nd solo sounds the same when repeated, but there are slight variations each time, pay attention to those.
[Verse]
Em Em Never feared for anything Em Never shamed but never free G D A laugh that healed the broken heart Bm C With all that it could
Em Em Lived the life so endlessly Em Saw beyond what others see G D I tried to heal your broken heart Bm C With all that I could
C Will you stay? D Will you stay away forever?
[Chorus]
Em G How do i live without the ones i love? Am Em D Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned Em G Place and time always on my mind Am C D I have so much to say but you're so far away
[Verse]
Em Em Plans of what our features hold Em Foolish lies of growin' old G D Bm C It seems we're so invincible, the truth is so cold
Em Em A final song, a last request Em A perfect chapter laid to rest G D Bm C Now and then I try to find a place in my mind
C Where you can stay D You can stay awake forever
[Chorus]
Em G How do I live without the ones i love? Am Em D Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned Em G Place and time always on my mind Am C D I have so much to say but you're so far away
[Bridge]
E C Sleep tight, I'm not afraid Am Em The ones that we love are here with me E C Lay away a place for me D C 'Cause as soon as I'm done, I'll be on my way D To live eternally
Em G How do I live without the ones i love? Am Em D Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned Em G Place and time always on my mind Am C D And the light you left remains but it's so hard to stay Am C D Em When I have so much to say and you're so far away

I love you You were ready The pain is strong enough to despise But I'll see you When He lets me Your pain is gone, your hands are tied
So far away And I need you to know
So far away And I need you to, need you to know...

Song: So Far Away
Artist: Avenged Sevenfold
Album: Nightmare
Year: 2010
this is one of the most easiest songs of a7x.
there are more tabs of this song, i think the chords are right, but the solos and
arpeggios are not(of the other tabs). I know most of A7X songs are on Drop D tuning, but this
is Standart, im pretty sure of it.
I'm not english, american, austrailan or any country that speaks english, so you gotta
excuse me if i make any mistake
