G G/B
Far away where the soft winds blow
G/B A G (E)
Far away from it all
G G/B
There is a place you go
G/B A G
Where teardrops fall
G G/B
Far away in the stormy night
G/B A G
Far away over the wall
G G/B
You are there in the flickering light
G/B A G
Where teardrops fall
C
We bang the drum slowly
C
And play the fife lowly
G
You know the song in my heart
C
In the turning of twilight
C
In the shadows of moonlight
D
You can show me a new place to start
G G/B
I've torn my clothes and I've drained the cup
G/B A G
Stripping away at it all
G G/B
Thinkin' of you when the sun comes up
G/B A G
Where teardrops fall
(Intro variation)
C
By rivers of blindness
C
In love and with kindness
G
We can hold up a toast if we meet
C
To the cutting of fences
C
To sharpen the senses
D
That linger in the fireball heat
G G/B
Roses are red, violets are blue
G/B A G
And time is beginning to crawl
G/B G/B
I just might have to come see you
G/B A G
Where teardrops fall
