Far away eyes

Song composer: Jagger

Lyrics author: Jagger

Capo á fyrsta band

	A
I was	driving home early Sunday morning through Bakersfield

	B	E
	Listening to gospel music on the colored ra	dio station

	A	B
And the	preacher said, „You know you always	have the

	E
Lord by	your side“

	A	B
	And I was so pleased to be informed of this	that I ran

	E
Twenty red	lights in his honor

	A	E	B	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

	E	A	B
	So if you’	re down on	your luck

	E	A
And you	can’t harmo	nize

	E	B	E
Find a	girl wi	th far away	EYES

	A	B
And if you’re	downright	disgusted

	E	A
And	life ain’t worth	a dime

	E	B	E
Get a	girl wit	h far away	eyes

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 with a girl

Well, you know what kind of eyes she got

	E	A	B
	So if you’	re down on	your luck

	E	A
And you	can’t harmo	nize

	E	B	E
Find a	girl wi	th far away	EYES

	A	B
And if you’re	downright	disgusted

	E	A
And	life ain’t worth	a dime

	E	B	E
Get a	girl wit	h far away	eyes

	E	A	B
	So if you’	re down on	your luck

	E	A
And you	can’t harmo	nize

	E	B	E
Find a	girl wi	th far away	EYES
