I'm sure this is not the same key as the recorded version.
But I haven't been able to find this anywhere.

Far Away Eyes       (M. Jagger/K. Richards)
C majorC
I was driving home early Sunday morning through Bakersfield
D MajorD
Listening to gospel music on the colored radio station
        C majorC
And the preacher said, "You know you always have the
D MajorD
Lord by your side"
G+G
And I was so pleased to be informed of this that I ran
         D MajorD
Twenty red lights in his honor Thank you Jesus, thank you lord

D MajorD

C majorC
I had an arrangement to meet a girl, and I was kind of late
D MajorD
And I thought by the time I got there she'd be off
C majorC
She'd be off with the nearest truck driver she could find
D MajorD
Much to my surprise, there she was sittin in the corner
C majorC
A augmentedA little bleary, worse for wear and tear
      G+G
Was a girl with far away eyes
-------------------------------------------------------------

CHORUS:
             D MajorD
So if you're down on your luck
        C majorC
And you can't harmonize   (2ND TIME: I KNOW YOU ALL SYMPATHIZE)
       G+G
Find a girl with far away EYES
             D MajorD
And if you're downright disgusted
         C majorC
And life ain't worth a dime
       G+G
Get a girl with far away eyes
--------------------------------------------------------------------
C majorC
Well the preacher kept right on saying that all I had to do was send
D MajorD
Ten dollars to the church of the sacred bleeding heart of Jesus
C majorC
Located somewhere in Los Angeles, California
D MajorD
And next week they'd say my prayer on the radio
C majorC
And all my dreams would come true
D MajorD
So I did, the next week, I got a prayer with a girl
G+G
Well, you know what kind of eyes she got
