One of my favorite Ingrid Michaelson songs and I noticed that nobody had tabbed it so I thought
I would. It's my first tab. The song isn't that difficult. You just have
get the rhythm right. I tried to get the chords lined up with the words but I couldn't unfortunately.
 
Edit: I lined up the chords with the lyrics finally 13 years after first posting this. Sorry lol
 
These are the tabs for a few of the chords. I didn't know the name of two of the chords.

Far Away
 
         A       E           A7         D           A    E            A
I will live my  life as a lobsterman's wife on an island in the blue bay.
 
         A            E           A7             D
He will take care of me, he will smell like the sea,
     A           E                  A
And close to my heart he'll always stay.
 
         A         E               A7         D            A
I will bear three girls all with strawberry curls, little Ella and
E          A
Nelly and Faye.
 
            A            E           A7               D
While I'm combing their hair, I will catch his warm stare
         A    E           A
On our island in the blue bay.
 
     E        E7             D       A
Far away far away, I want to go far away.
      E       E7          D   A
To a new life on a new shore line.
 
           E        E7           D          A
Where the water is blue and the people are new.
     E      E7     *F flatted 5th thing (strummed)  A
To another island, in another life.
 
 
 
          A           E           A7       D       A          E          A
There's a boy next to me and he never will be anything but a boy at the bar.
 
       A              E               A7          D
And I think he's the tops, he's where everything stops.
        A      E              A
How I love to love him from afar.
 
          A              E           A7     D           A                *F# in the bass A sus thing
When he walks right past me then I finally see on this bar stool I can't stay.
 
         A        E         A7           D
So I'm taking my frown to a far distant town
       A     E            A
On an island in the blue bay.
 
      E       E7              D       A
Far away far away, I want to go far away.
      E       E7         D    A
To a new life on a new shore line.
 
           E        E7           D          A
Where the water is blue and the people are new.
      E    E7     *F flatted 5th thing (strummed)
To another island, in another life.
 
Amaj7                  *F# in the bass A sus thing           E
I want to go far away, away, away.  I want to go far away, away,
 
                        A          E  E7    D  A     E   E7   *F# in the bass-A-sus thing
away, I want to go far away, away, ay ay ay uh ay uh ay
 
           E        E7           D          A
Where the water is blue and the people are new.
     E      E7        D      A
To another life, to another life.
     E      E7       *F flatted 5th thing (strummed)
To another shore line
                Amaj 7 (strummed)
In another life.
