I would. It's my first tab so please rate. The song isn't that difficult. You just have
get the
rhythm right. I based it off of a live version I found on Youtube but it's the same as
album.
In the live version there's a capo on the 1st fret, so it's up to you if you want to
it. I tried to
get the chords lined up with the words but I couldn't unfortunately.
These are the tabs for a few of the chords:

Far Away

He will take care of me, he will smell like the sea,

And close to my heart he'll always stay.

Nelly and Faye.

While I'm combing their hair, I will catch his warm stare

On our island in the blue bay.

To a new life on a new shore line.

Where the water is blue and the people are new.

To another island, in another life.
