I got the blues from my baby livin' by the San Francisco Bay

The ocean liners not so far away

Not a star was in sight

 Far away where the soft winds blow
                 C    Eb
Far away from it all
G
 There is a place you go
G     D'        G
Where teardrops fall.

Far away in the stormy night
Far away and over the wall
You are there in the flickering light
Where teardrops fall.

   C
We banged the drum slowly

And played the fife lowly
    G
You know the song in my heart
       C
In the turning of twilight

In the shadows of moonlight
        Cm                     D
You can show me a new place to start.

     C                     F                 C      F C
If I just turn away when I see how you're dressed
     Am                                  Em
If I shut myself off so I can't hear you cry
F    C    F  C
What good am I ?

What good am I if I know and don't do
If I see and don't say if I look right through you
If I turn a deaf ear to the thunderin' sky
What good am I ?

What good am I while you softly weep
And I hear in my head what you say in your sleep

E                           A        E
Something is burning, baby, are you aware?
E                                      A             E
Something is the matter, baby, there's smoke in your hair
    E                          A         E
Are you still my friend, baby, show me a sign
       E                      A          E
Is the love in your heart for me turning blind?

You've been avoiding the main streets for a long, long while
The truth that I'm seeking is in your missing file
What's your position, baby, what's going on?
Why is the light in your eyes nearly gone?
