Follow My Tears Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][C][D][G][C][Dsus4][D][G]

[Verse 1]
I was [G]born in
[C]the shadow of [D]the factory I'd be work[G]ing
For me and [C]my brother,
there was [D]nowhere else [G]to go
I married a loc[C]al boy [D]in [G]1947
His hands were rough but his
[C]eyes were kind
[D]And I knew our love [G]would grow

[Verse 2]
From my [G]eyes to the [C]river
From [D]the river to the [G]sea
From the sea to [C]the drkening clouds
From the [D]sky back down to [G]me
Follow my tears....
[C][D]
[Dsus4][D]

[Verse 3]
[G]
We sailed for New [C]Zealand,
I was [D]carrying our second daugh[G]ter
And there on [C]the dockside,
I nev[D]er knew they were last good[G]byes
The first time I saw [C]Wellington my [D]heart
would not stop [G]racing
We had come halfway [C]round the world [D]to start

[Interlude 1]
our new lives
[G][C][G][C][D][G][C][G][C][D]
[G]

[Verse 4]
Now [G]John was an en[C]gineer,
[D]he worked until the day [G]he died
He left me wanting noth[C]ing,
[D]for thirty years this was our [G]home
I am by my[C]self now,
the chil[D]dren call me now [G]and then
His hands were rough but his
[C]eyes were kind
[D]And I knew our love would [G]grow

[Verse 5]
From my [G]eyes to the [C]river
From [D]the river to the [G]sea
From the sea to [C]the drkening clouds
From the [D]sky back down to [G]me
[C]Follow my [D]tears....[G]
Follow [C]my [D]tears

[Outro 1]
