I'm sure this is not the same key as the recorded version. But I haven't been able to find this anywhere. Corrections to ross@uleth.ca please. Far Away Eyes (M. Jagger/K. Richards) C I was driving home early Sunday morning through Bakersfield D Listening to gospel music on the colored radio station C And the preacher said, "You know you always have the D Lord by your side" G
And I was so pleased to be informed of this that I ran D Twenty red lights in his honor Thank you Jesus, thank you lord D C I had an arrangement to meet a girl, and I was kind of late D And I thought by the time I got there she'd be off C She'd be off with the nearest truck driver she could find D Much to my surprise, there she was sittin in the corner C A little bleary, worse for wear and tear G Was a girl with far away eyes ------------------------------------------------------------- CHORUS: D So if you're down on your luck C And you can't harmonize (2ND TIME: I KNOW YOU ALL SYMPATHIZE) G Find a girl with far away EYES D And if you're downright disgusted C And life ain't worth a dime G Get a girl with far away eyes -------------------------------------------------------------------- C Well the preacher kept right on saying that all I had to do was send D Ten dollars to the church of the sacred bleeding heart of Jesus C Located somewhere in Los Angeles, California D And next week they'd say my prayer on the radio C And all my dreams would come true D So I did, the next week, I got a prayer with a girl G Well, you know what kind of eyes she got ---------------------------------------------------------------
