Chords for guitar and piano interpreted by Sidney P. Salgado (sid_9000@msn.com)
[Intro]
F F/G Bb/A Bb C
F F/G Bb/A Bb
[Verse 1]
Bb C F
I was driving home early Sunday morning through Bakersfield
F/G Bb/A Bb
Listening to gospel music on the colored radio station
C
And the preacher said,
F F/G Bb/A
"You know you always have the Lord by your side"
Bb C
And I was so pleased to be informed of this
F F/G Bb/A Bb
That I ran twenty red lights in his honor
F C F F/G Bb/A
Thank you Jesus, thank you Lord
Bb C F
I had an arrangement to meet a girl, and I was kind of late
F/G Bb/A
And I thought by the time I got there she'd be off
Bb C F
She'd be off with the nearest truck driver she could find
F/G Bb/A Bb
Much to my surprise, there she was sittin in the corner
C F F/G Bb/A Bb
A little bleary, worse for wear and tear
F C F F/G Bb/A
Was a girl with far away eyes
[Chorus]
Bb C
So if you're down on your luck
F F/G Bb/A Bb
And you can't harmonize
F C F F/G Bb/A
Find a girl with far away eyes
Bb C
And if you're downright disgusted
F F/G Bb/A Bb
And life ain't worth a dime
F C F F/G Bb/A Bb
Get a girl with far away eyes
[Solo Сhords]
Bb C F F/G Bb/A
Bb F C F F/G Bb/A
[Verse 2]
Bb C
Well the preacher kept right on saying that
All I had to do was
F F/G Bb/A Bb
Send 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
F/G Bb/A Bb
And all my dreams would come true
C F F/G Bb/A Bb F
So I did, the next week, I got a prayer with a girl
C F F/G Bb/A Bb
Well, you know what kind of eyes she got
[Chorus]
Bb C
So if you're down on your luck
F F/G Bb/A Bb
I know you all sympathize
F C F F/G Bb/A Bb
Find a girl with far away eyes
Bb C
And if you're downright disgusted
F F/G Bb/A Bb
And life ain't worth a dime
F C F F/G Bb/A Bb
Get a girl with far away eyes
Bb C
So if you're down on your luck
F F/G Bb/A Bb
I know you all sympathize
F C BbFBbF
END
Get a girl with far away eyes
