| Ab | | I was | driving home early Sunday morning through Bakersfield |
|
| Bb | Eb | | Listening to gospel music on the colored ra | dio station |
|
|
| Ab | Bb | | And the | preacher said, „You know you always | have the |
|
|
|
| Ab | Bb | | And I was so pleased to be informed of this | that I ran |
|
| Eb | | Twenty red | lights in his honor |
|
|
| Ab | Eb | Bb | Eb | | Thank you | Jesus, | thank you lord | |
|
|
|
I had an arrangement to meet a girl, and I was kind of late |
|
|
And I thought by the time I got there she’d be off |
|
|
She’d be off with the nearest truck driver she could find |
|
|
Much to my surprise, there she was sittin in the corner |
|
|
A little bleary, worse for wear and tear |
|
|
Was a girl with far away eyes |
|
|
| Eb | Ab | Bb | | So if you’ | re down on | your luck |
|
| Eb | Ab | | And you | can’t harmo | nize |
|
| Eb | Bb | Eb | | Find a | girl wi | th far away | EYES |
|
| Ab | Bb | | And if you’re | downright | disgusted |
|
| Eb | Ab | | And | life ain’t worth | a dime |
|
| Eb | Bb | Eb | | Get a | girl wit | h far away | eyes |
|
|
|
Well the preacher kept right on saying that all I had to do was send |
|
|
Ten dollars to the church of the sacred bleeding heart of Jesus |
|
|
Located somewhere in Los Angeles, California |
|
|
And next week they’d say my prayer on the radio |
|
|
And all my dreams would come true |
|
|
So I did, the next week, I got a prayer with a girl |
|
|
Well, you know what kind of eyes she got |
|
|
| Eb | Ab | Bb | | So if you’ | re down on | your luck |
|
| Eb | Ab | | And you | can’t harmo | nize |
|
| Eb | Bb | Eb | | Find a | girl wi | th far away | EYES |
|
| Ab | Bb | | And if you’re | downright | disgusted |
|
| Eb | Ab | | And | life ain’t worth | a dime |
|
| Eb | Bb | Eb | | Get a | girl wit | h far away | eyes |
|
|
| Eb | Ab | Bb | | So if you’ | re down on | your luck |
|
