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