Tear Stained Eye - Son Volt
capo 2
D
Walkin’ down Main Street,
G
gettin' to know the concrete
A D
Lookin for a purpose, from a neon sign.
D
I would meet you anywhere
G
The 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
D Em
St. Genevieve can hold back the water,
A
but saints don't bother
D
with a tear-stained eye.
(verse solo)
D G A D
D
Seein' traces of the
G
scars that came before
A
Hitting the pavement,
D
still askin' for more
D
when the hours don't move along,
G
worn-out wood and familiar songs
A
To hear your voice is not enough,
D
It’s more than a shame.
(chorus)
D Em
Can you deny, there's nothin' greater
G D
Nothin' more than travelin' hands of time
D Em
St. Genevieve can hold back the water,
A
but saints don't bother
D
with a tear-stained eye.
(verse solo)
D G A D
D G A D
D
Like a man said,
G
rode hard and put away wet
A
throw away the bad news
D
and put it to rest
D
If learning is livin',
G
and the truth is a state of mind
A
you'll find it's better
D
at the end of the line.
(chorus)
D Em
Can you deny, there's nothin' greater

Nothin' more than travelin' hands of time

St. Genevieve can hold back the water,
A
but saints don't bother
D
with a tear-stained eye.

St. Genevieve can hold back the water,

but saints don't bother

with a tear-stained eye.
