Far From Me John Prine
Capo 2
Intro: G
As the [G]cafe was [C]closing
On a warm summer [D]night
And [C]cathy was [D]cleaning the [G]spoons
The [C]radio played the [G]hit parade
And [A]I hummed a long with the [D]tune
She [C]asked me to [D]change the s[G]tation
Said the [C]song just drove her [D]insane
But it [G]werent just the music [C]playing
It was [D]me that she was trying to [G]blame.
Chorus:
And the [C]sky is black and [G]still now
On the [C]hill where the angels [D]sing
Aint it [C]funny how an old broken [G]bottle
Looks [G]just like a [D]diamond [G]ring
But its [C]far, [D]far from [G]me
Well I [G]leaned on my [C]left leg
In the parking lot [D]dirt
And [C]cathy was [D]closing the [G]lights
A [C]june bug flew from the [G]warmth he once knew
And I [A]wished for once I werent [D]right
Why we [C]used to [D]laugh to[G]gether
And wed [C]dance to any old [D]song.
Well ya [G]know she still laughs [C]with me
But she [D]waits just a second to [G]long.
(Repeat chorus)
Well I [G]started the [C]engine
And I gave it some [D]gas
And [C]cathy was [D]closing her [G]purse
Well we [C]hadnt gone far in my [G]beat old car
And [A]I was prepared for the [D]worst.
[C]Will you still [D]see me to[G]morrow?
[C]No I got too much to [D]do.
Well a [G]question aint really a [C]question
If you [D]know the answer [G]too.
