10000 Miles From A Friend

• Verse

This is technically in E major because of capo 4, but it is played
with standard open shapes. As such, the tab will be based on the shapes
not the actual chord. This is in the key of the "C Shape."


Cleaned this up quite a bit from first version. Still not 100% but much closer now. 
Yes, I know some of the hammer-ons/pull-offs make some chords Cadd9 and such, but since 
everything is built off of open position I'm going to keep the tab simplified.


The intro/hook is also used between verses 3 and 4 and after the final verse.


Below is just a general guideline for the verse part, this is the picking pattern for
each chord. In each respective verse, earlier on he uses the F triad shape and for the
last couple lines of each verse he used the F barre shape (excluding E and e).


Verse

  C/G               C               F(triad)       G              F("barre")
e|----------------x---------------x--------------x--------------x----------------|
B|----1-----------x---1----1------x----1---1---1-x----3---3-----x----1---1-------|
G|----0--------0--x---0--------0--x----2-----2---x----0-------0-x----2--------3--|
D|-----------2----x----------2----x--3---3-------x----------0---x----------4-----|
A|--3-------------x-3---3---------x--------------x--------------x--4---4---------|
E|-------3--------x---------------x--------------x--3---3-------x----------------|


I differentiate C/G as opposed to just C and then G, this is a "bouncing" bass line
with the C/G chord, but he is just moving his ring finger back and forth. Important
to distinct from the C and then G later beacuse the G uses the entire shape and not
just the low E bass note. You can also do the "grabs" with three fingers, if you like.


Video is attached here. Just go give it a watch and you'll see the verses all follow
a similar structure in the order the chord shapes are played.

Verse
C/G
I’ve seen truckstops and pitstops
F                       C
Rest stops, dives, and gift shops
G                    F         C/G
Took heavy jobs for pay that wasn’t big

Make my living hauling cargo
       F        C/G
All around the whole damn country
          G              F                C/G
I’ve been everywhere and barely left this rig boys
          G              F                C/G
I’ve been everywhere and barely left this rig


C/G
Watch the white lines on the highway
F                    C/G
Try and slide right out of my way
                   F                 C/G
I chased the road beyond the setting sun

When it rises like a flower
F                       C
I’m still just clocking hours
         G             F              C/G
And I’ll see it rise again before I’m done boys
     G             F                C/G
I’ll see it rise again before I’m done

Chorus
 F                      C/G
Albany to Omaha, it’s Adderall and alcohol
    G              F       C/G
To pick me up and set me down again

Well, my tired eyes are bloodshot
         F                C/G
Like my guts been full of Buckshot
       G           F           C/G
And I feel 10,000 miles from a friend

Verse
C/G
Late at night, I miss my family
       F               C/G
And I wrestle with my sanity
        G                 F               C/G
On the moonless nights, I swear I see the dog

There’s no resting for the innocent
   F                   C/G
To hang on through the end of it
 G              F                    C/G
Just around the bend and through the fog

Chorus
 F                      C/G
Albany to Omaha, it’s Adderall and alcohol
    G              F       C/G
To pick me up and set me down again

Well, my tired eyes are bloodshot
         F                C/G
Like my guts been full of Buckshot
       G           F           C/G
And I feel 10,000 miles from a friend
  G           F             C/G
I feel 10,000 miles from a friend
