I was driving home early Sunday morning through Bakersfield

                            F/G Bb/A                  Bb

Listening to gospel music on the colored radio station

                     C

And the preacher said, 

                              F                 F/G Bb/A

"You know you always have the Lord by your side"

            Bb                             C

And I was so pleased to be informed of this 

                            F            F/G Bb/A Bb

That I ran twenty red lights in his honor

          F      C             F F/G Bb/A

Thank you Jesus, thank you Lord

 Bb                                C                       F

I had an arrangement to meet a girl, and I was kind of late

                                     F/G Bb/A

And I thought by the time I got there she'd be off

 Bb                                                  C   F

She'd be off with the nearest truck driver she could find

                   F/G Bb/A           Bb

Much to my surprise, there she was sittin in the corner

 C              F          F/G Bb/A     Bb

A little bleary, worse for wear and tear

       F         C           F F/G Bb/A

Was a girl with far away eyes





CHORUS:

             Bb            C

So if you're down on your luck

       F F/G Bb/A  Bb

And you can't harmonize

       F         C        F F/G Bb/A

Find a girl with far away eyes

              Bb        C

And if you're downright disgusted

   F F/G Bb/A         Bb

And life ain't worth a dime

      F         C             F F/G Bb/A Bb

Get a girl with far away eyes

 Bb                             C   

Well the preacher kept right on saying that 



All I had to do was 

F                             F/G Bb/A                         Bb

Send ten dollars to the church of the sacred bleeding heart of Jesus

                      C

Located somewhere in Los Angeles, California

        F

And next week they'd say my prayer on the radio

           F/G Bb/A Bb        

And all my dreams would come true

           C            F F/G Bb/A Bb               F

So I did, the next week, I got a prayer with a girl

     C                                   F F/G Bb/A Bb 

Well, you know what kind of eyes she got





CHORUS:

             Bb           C

So if you're down on your luck

         F F/G Bb/A   Bb 

I know you all sympathize

        F         C           F F/G Bb/A Bb 

Find a girl with far away eyes

               Bb        C 

And if you're downright disgusted

        F F/G Bb/A     Bb 

And life ain't worth a dime

      F         C            F F/G Bb/A   Bb 

Get a girl with far away eyes

             Bb           C

So if you're down on your luck

         F F/G Bb/A   Bb 

I know you all sympathize

        F        C           Bb F Bb F   END
