Far Away Eyes
The Rolling Stones
Intro: | F | F | Bb | C | F | F |
Bb C F
I was driving home early Sunday morning through Bakersfield
Bb
Listening to gospel music on the coloured radio station
C F
And the preacher said, "You know you always have the Lord by your side"
Bb C F Bb
And I was so pleased to be informed of this that I ran twenty red lights in his honour
F C F
Thank you Jesus, thank you lord
Bb C F
I had an arrangement to meet a girl, and I was kind of late and I thought
Bb
By the time I got there she'd be off, she'd be off
C F
With the nearest truck driver she could find
Bb
Much to my surprise, there she was, sittin' in the corner
C F Bb
A little bleary, worse for wear and tear
F C F
Was a girl with far away eyes
Bb C F Bb
So if you're down on your luck and you can't harmonize
F C F
Find a girl with far away eyes
Bb C F Bb
And if you're downright disgusted and life ain't worth a dime
F C F
Get a girl with far away eyes
Guitar solo: | Bb | C | F | Bb | F | C | F | F |
Bb C F
Well, the preacher kept right on saying that all I had to do was send
Bb
Ten dollars to the church of the sacred bleeding heart of Jesus
C
Located somewhere in Los Angeles, California
F
And next week they'd say my prayer on the radio and all my dreams would come true
Bb C F Bb F
So I did, the next week, I got a prayer with a girl
C F
Well, you know what kind of eyes she got, I'll tell you
Bb C F Bb
So if you're down on your luck I know you all sympathize
F C F
Find a girl with far away eyes
Bb C F Bb
And if you're downright disgusted and life ain't worth a dime
F C F
Get a girl with far away eyes
Bb C F Bb
So if you're down on your luck I know you all sympathize
F C Bb F C F
Get a girl with far away eyes
