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