Vanessa Carlton - 'A Thousand Miles'
from the album 'Be Not Nobody'
Tabulature-version from the 7th of October 2003, transcribed and tabbed by Thomas Mitterfellner

Since I think the other versions of this song I found on the net were not too helpful I hereby attempt to provide a more accurate transcription for guitar. I also made up some chords you can strum to accompany the singing if you don't want to fingerpick. Those are constructed from the very rich choice of notes you can hear being played on the record by different instruments like strings, bass, piano and voice. So they're not always simple chords but sometimes I tried to incorporate parts of the bassline or the vocal line (like the strange sounding Bmaj7sus4/E that resolves into a more familiar sounding F#sus4; see chorus). I'm not very happy with the bridge chords (especially not with the G#m chord) because I found this section quite difficult to transcribe. But nevertheless I think they sound OK if you don't want to play along with the record.
