Subject: TAB/CRD: Take Me Away - OASIS
I'm only doing this from memory but, for anyone who's interested he's my
interpretation for Take Me Away by Oasis. It's on one of the B-sides and
it's an acoustic thing that Noel plays live.
Take Me Away - OASIS

Verse lyrics:
Something like:
Just when it falls apart
Then when it's time to start
Wishing away for another day
Bridge
=====
G D
Me and my friends we know where we're going
We're going where the grass is green and the air is clean and the
good times are flowing
D E
Take me away Just for today
G A
'Cos I'm out here on my own
I'd like to be under the sea
But I'd probably need a phone ( Or something equally jibber-ish)
Then there's another verse ( can't remember the words )
The last chorus then goes something like this:
Take me away, just for today
'Cos I'm out here on my own
I'd like to be under the sea
But I'd probably need a phone
I could be you if I wanted to, but I haven't got the time
You could be me and pretty soon you will be
But you're gonna need a lie
...need a lie
This is the best I can do at the moment. If anybody wants me to TAB it
properly then I will. Feel free to point out any balls ups.

Although there is already a transcription for this posted up here, I think it
was a touch inaccurate in places (James Evans) .
This version is a bit more detailed also.
Here is what I think the Oasis song Take Me Away goes like. It's on the B-side
of their first single Supersonic and I reckon that it's Noel's best acoustic
jobbie yet, and probably one of Oasis's best song's. Anyway here goes:
Verse:
There's a strumming/picking section here:

That's all I've got so far but there's another verse and a double length
chorus after that it fades out with an instrumental bit (I think). This might
be a tad inaccurate as I'm typing this at school with no CD and no guitar.
If anyone has any corrections, comments etc. please get in touch:
ENJOY!!!
