Far Away Eyes

G                                                 C
I was driving home early Sunday morning through Bakersfield
G                                               D
GListening to gospel music on the colored radio station
G                                      C
And the preacher said, "You know you always have the
G             D
Lord by your side"
G
And I was so pleased to be informed of this that I ran
C                               G                  D
Twenty red lights in his honor Thank you Jesus, thank you lord

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

CHORUS:
C             D

G             C
And you can't harmonize
G          D          G

G                                                 C
Well the preacher kept right on saying that all I had
to do was send
G                                                D
Ten dollars to the church of the sacred bleeding heart of Jesus
G                                C
Located somewhere in Los Angeles, California
G                                     D
And next week they'd say my prayer on the radio
G                            C
And all my dreams would come true
G                                         D
So I did, the next week, I got a prayer with a girl
G                        D            G
Well, you know what kind of eyes she got
