[Intro 1]
[D][D][G][A]
[D][D]

[Verse 1]
[G]I was driving home
[A]early Sunday morning through [D]Bakersfield
Listening to gospel music
on the colored radio [G]station
And the preacher [A]said,
you know you always have
the [D]Lord by your side
And [G]I was so pleased to be informed of this
[A]that I ran Twenty red lig[D]hts in his honor
[G]Tha[D]nk you Jesus,
[A]thank you Lor[D]d

[Verse 2]
[G]I had an arrangement to meet a gir[A]l,
and I was kind of late
[D]And I thought
by the time I got there she'd be off
She'd be [G]off with the nearest truck driver
she could [A]find[D]
Much to my surprise,
there she [G]was sittin' in the corner
[A]A little ble[D]ary, worse for wear and tear
[G]Was a gir[D]l with far[A] away eye[D]s

[Chorus 1]
So if you're [G]down on your [A]luck
And you [D]can't harmo[G]nize
Find a [D]girl with [A]far away [D]eyes
And if you're [G]downright dis[A]gusted
And [D]life ain't worth a [G]dime
Get a [D]girl with [A]far away [D]eyes

[Solo 1]

[D][A][D][D]

[Verse 3]
[G]Well the preacher kept right on say[A]ing
that all I had to do [D]was send
Ten dollars to the church of the
Sacred Bleeding [G]Heart Of Jesus
Located somewhere in
[A]Los Angeles, California
And next [D]week they'd say
my prayer on the radio
And all my dreams would come true
[G]So I did,
[A]the next week,
[D]I got a pra[G]yer
with a [D]girl
Well, you [A]know what kind of eyes she got,
[D]well I'll tell ya

[Chorus 2]
So if you're [G]down on your [A]luck
I know you [D]all sympa[G]thize
Find a [D]girl with [A]far away [D]eyes
And if you're [G]downright dis[A]gusted
And [D]life ain't worth a [G]dime
Get a [D]girl with [A]far away [D]eyes

[Outro 1]
So if you're [G]down on your [A]luck
I know you [D]all sympa[G]thize
Get a [D]girl with [A]far away [G]eyes
[D][A][D]
