We have an official So Far Away tab made by UG professional guitarists.
Check out the tab
Please note that this tablature is my own work and therefore not
100% accurate. The verse is okay to me but I'm not too sure about the
chorus for guitar two and the intro, so any info would be nice
(but no BS, please). I did watch them live though. For the bridge I
transcribed the strings to guitar cus i have no idea what guitar two
actually plays. Sorry.
