Far Away Eyes
The Rolling Stones
(Capo 1st fret)
E A2 B2 E
A2 B2 E
I was driving home early Sunday morning through Bakersfield
Listening to gospel music on the colored radio station
and the preacher said,
"You know you always have the Lord by your side"
A2 B2
And I was so pleased to be informed of this that I ran
E A2
twenty red lights in his honor
E B2 E
Thank you Jesus, thank you Lord
I had an arrangement to meet a girl, and I was kind of late
And I thought by the time I got there she'd be off
she'd be off with the nearest truck driver she could find
Much to my surprise, there she was sittin in the corner
a little bleary, worse for wear and tear
Was a girl with far away eyes
A2 B2
So if you're down on your luck
E A2
And you can't harmonize
E B2 E
Find a girl with far away eyes
And if you're downright disgusted
And life ain't worth a damn
Get a girl with far away eyes
*Solo* (verse x2)
Well, the preacher kept right on saying that all I had to do was send
ten dollars to the church of the sacred bleeding heart
Of Jesus located somewhere in Los Angeles, California
and next week they'd say my prayer on the radio
and all my dreams would come true
So I did, the next week, I got a prayer, and the girl
Well, you know what kind of eyes she got
So if you're down on your luck
And you can't harmonize
Find a girl with far away eyes
And if you're downright disgusted
And life ain't worth a damn
E B2 A2 E
Get a girl with far away eyes...
