Q. heres the site that says the chords: http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/tabs/v/vanessa_carlton/a_thousand_miles_ver4_crd.htm
A. Am is A C E because the regular A triad is A C# E, so you drop the middle finger a half-step to form the minor triad.
Does anybody have the chord on piano for vanessa carltons a thousand miles?
Q.
A. This is not a classical music (Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, etc) question. Please post in 'rock and pop' where this question belongs.
Anyone know a good piano sheet of the following songs in the highest difficulty possible?
Q. 1.) Greensleeves
2.) Yesterday
3.) Hotel California
4.) All My Life (by KC and Jojo)
5.) A Thousand Miles
Along these lines of difficulty, or at least as difficult as possible:

Sheets don't have to be free
A. Birdgirl getting my strong seconding here.
Almost all pop and show music sheets are infamously spare and simple. The melody is always in the right hand as well as in the vocal line, the rest a simple configuration. The majority of buyers for these are self-taught or very early level piano players, and it is often enough 'tricky' for them. They are the largest demographic market for purchasing those scores.
More elaborate, i.e. more advanced and difficult arrangements would be an economic disaster for the publisher, as there would be far too few buyers to make it worthwhile.
Once in a while an intermediate or slightly more difficult arrangement will have created a large enough demand (some George Winston, 'Carol of the Bells' as an example) that a full score of that arrangement becomes commercially viable because there is a great enough demand for it.
If you have a more developed technique, I'd advise that if you cannot yet 'get' at a glance from the score the basic chords of the piece, that you learn the 'pop' nomenclature of chords, which appear in those printed sheets, labeled above the vocal line along with the Guitar tabs.
Keep the fundamental written bass note(s) in the score (they 'set' the chord inversion for you), you can then readily 'fluff it out' with what you think are appropriate configurations, easily found passing tones within the key, those very mushy-soft and 'pretty' pop style six chords (i.e. CEGA as a C chord vs. an a minor 7 in classical theory) ~ et voila! you are a semi-improvising pop pianist.
The more experienced and knowledgeable musicians work from 'cheat sheets' a minimized 'chart' of the melody in treble clef with just the pop harmony jargon notated chord symbols. From that it is quick steps to very full-sounding arrangements.
If you want to try a lovely and harmonically 'sophisticated' Pop song, beloved of Jazz players, pick up a copy of "Spring can really hang you up the most." -- by Fran Landesman and Tommy Wolf. ~ It is a LOT of fun to play around with:-)
Best regards.
