We have an official Far Away tab made by UG professional guitarists.

Check out the tab

Band- Nickelback
Song- Far Away
Album- For All The Right Reasons
Tabbed By- Kyle LaFleur (Guitarman1507)
 
This is by far, the best Nickelback song ever.
Since none of the tabs on here sounded right, or were in the right tuning,
I decided I'd tab it out correctly on my own. It's about 100% correct, Enjoy!
 
Tuning: Half Step Down

"Far Away" Lyrics
 
This time, This place
Misused, Mistakes
Too long, Too late
Who was I to make you wait
Just one chance
Just one breath
Just in case there's just one left
'Cause you know,
you know, you know
 
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me
and you'll never go
Stop breathing if
I don't see you anymore
 
On my knees, I'll ask
Last chance for one last dance
'Cause with you, I'd withstand
All of hell to hold your hand
I'd give it all
I'd give for us
Give anything but I won't give up
'Cause you know,
you know, you know
 
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me
and you'll never go
Stop breathing if
I don't see you anymore
 
So far away
Been far away for far too long
So far away
Been far away for far too long
But you know, you know, you know
 
I wanted
I wanted you to stay
'Cause I needed
I need to hear you say
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I forgive you
For being away for far too long
So keep breathing
'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Believe it
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Believe it
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
Hold on to me and, never let me go

Hey great tab. Everything seems to be spot on, with one major change: tuning. I learned this song by ear in standard, but I had a feeling it was down a half step. This was confirmed on my trip to Sam Ash, for I found the tab book. The tuning is listed a down a half step with the low e tuned to Db. So just drop that low e and change some fingerings, and you'll be great.

Yea dude actually this sounds close but version 2 comes close than yours. It IS in standard tuning because you can hear all the notes ringing rather than in yours the hammer and pull off on the same string doesn't allow for that. It doesn't sound EXACTLY the same as the cd anyways, i've tried them all. Version 2 is close, but the pre course isn't right on it because the chord that is depicted is a C#m chord and it's really a C# major. But it's really close. And dude you should be a little less conceited, your tab is a good easy way to play it but not the CORRECT way.
