"Tear Stained Eye" by Son Volt, from "Trace" CD
Capo 2nd fret
[Verse 1]
D G
Walkin down Main Street, gettin' to know the concrete
A D
Lookin for a purpose from a neon sign.
G
I would meet you anywhere western sun meets the air
A D
I'll hit the road, never lookin' behind.
[Chorus]
D Em
Can you deny, there's nothin' greater
G D
nothin' more than travelin' hands of time
Em
St. Genevieve can hold back the water,
A D
but saints don't bother with a tear stained eye.
[Banjo Solo]
D Em G D
[Verse 2]
D G
Seein' traces of the scars that came before
A D
written in the pavement, still askin' for more
G
when the hours don't move along, worn-out wood and familiar songs
A D
To hear your voice is not enough, is more than a shame.
[Chorus]
D Em
Can you deny, there's nothin' greater
G D
nothin' more than travelin' hands of time
Em
St. Genevieve can hold back the water,
A D
but saints don't bother with a tear stained eye.
[Solo]
D Em G D
D Em A D
[Verse 3]
D G
Like a man said, rode hard and put away wet
A D
throw away the bad news and put it to rest
G
If learnin' is livin', and the truth is a state of mind
A D
you'll find it's better at the end of the line.
[Chorus]
D Em
Can you deny, there's nothin' greater
G D
nothin' more than travelin' hands of time
Em
St. Genevieve can hold back the water,
A D
but saints don't bother with a tear stained eye.
D Em G D
D Em
St. Genevieve can hold back the water,
A D
but saints don't bother with a tear stained eye.
