Verse 1

D 
G 
A 
I  was driving home early Sunday
D 
morning through Bakersfield
Listening to gospel music
G 
on the college radio station
A 
And the preacher said, you know,
D 
you always have the Lord by your side.
G 
And I was so pleased to
A 
be informed of this,
D 
G 
that I ran 20 red lights  in his honor.
D 
A 
Thank you, Jesus.
D 
Thank you, Lord.
G 
A 
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
G 
She'd be off to the nearest truck driver
A 
D 
she could find
Much to my surprise,
G 
there she was sitting in the corner
A 
D 
G 
A  little blurry, worse for wear and tear
D 
A 
D 
With a girl with far away eyes
G 
A 
So if you're down on your luck
D 
G 
Then you can harmonize
D 
A 
D 
Find a girl with far away eyes
G 
A 
And if you're damn right disgusted
D 
G 
Then life ain't worth a damn
D 
A 
D 
Get a girl with faraway eyes
G 
A 
D 
G 
D 
A 
D 
G 
A 
Well, the preacher came right on sayin'
D 
that all I had to do was send ten dollars to the Church of the Sacred Bleeding
G 
A 
Heart of Jesus located somewhere in Los Angeles, California.
D 
And next week they'd see my
prayer on the radio
And all my dreams would come true
G 
A 
And so I did
D 
G 
Next week I got a prayer
D 
For the girl
A 
Well, you know what kind of eyes she got
D 
What did tell you?
G 
A 
So if you're down on your luck,
D 
G 
I know you're all the same but wise.
D 
A 
D 
Find a girl with far away eyes.
G 
A 
And if you're downright disgusted,
D 
G 
then life ain't worth a dime.
D 
A 
D 
Get a girl with faraway eyes.
G 
A 
So if you're down on your luck,
D 
G 
I know we all sin in our lives.
D 
A 
G 
D 
And a girl with far away eyes.
