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