The song peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks in 2011 and became a huge hit for the band. When played live the band dedicates the song to The Rev, their drummer who died in 2009. With these Avenged Sevenfold So Far Away guitar chords you can play the song too.
The Rev is remembered in the video as well. In the promo video the band is driving an old car when their memories start to come. First we see them as as kids playing in a band, then as teens stealing alcohol. Footage of the Rev, the previous drummer, is also shown. Check these So Far Away guitar chords.
