Far From Me  John Prine



----------------------------------------------------------------------------




----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[C]                                     
As the [C]cafe was [F]closing
On a warm summer [G]night
And [F]cathy was [G]cleaning the [C]spoons
The [F]radio played the [C]hit parade
And [D]I hummed a long with the [G]tune
She [F]asked me to change the [C]station
Said the [F]song just drove her [G]insane
But it [C]werent just the music [F]playing
It was [G]me that she was trying to [C]blame.
Chorus:
And the [F]sky is black and [C]still now
On the [F]hill where the angels [G]sing
Aint it [F]funny how an old broken [C]bottle
Looks [C]just like a [G]diamond [C]ring
But its [F]far, [G]far from [C]me

Well I [C]leaned on my [F]left leg
In the parking lot [G]dirt
And [F]cathy was [G]closing the [C]lights
A [F]june bug flew from the [C]warmth he once knew
And I [D]wished for once I werent [G]right
Why we [F]used to laugh to[C]gether
And wed [F]dance to any old [G]song.
Well ya [C]know she still laughs [F]with me
But she [G]waits just a second to [C]long.

(Repeat chorus)

Well I [C]started the [F]engine
And I gave it some [G]gas
And [F]cathy was [G]closing her [C]purse
Well we [F]hadnt gone far in my [C]beat old car
And [D]I was prepared for the [G]worst.
[F]Will you still see me to[C]morrow?
[F]No I got too much to [G]do.
Well a [C]question aint really a [F]question
If you [G]know the answer [C]too.

(Repeat Chorus)

Oh, I should perhaps mention that the F hammer is on the third string; the G hammer is on the fourth...

You should be able to work it out now!

;)

Try:

C F C
The cafe was closing on a warm summer's
G
night

F C
Cathy was cleaning the spoons
F C
A radio played the hit parade
G G
And I hummed along with the tunes
F C
She asked me to change the station
F G
'Cause the song just drove her insane;
C F
It weren't the music playin',
C G7 C
It was me she was tryin' to blame.

F C
And the sky is black and still now
F G
On the hill where the angels sing;
F C
Ain't it strange how an old broken bottle
F G7 C
Looks just like a diamond ring

etc...

Used to make me a small fortune when I was busking, but I never knew all the words for it; so to thank you for providing the missing words for me, I've corrected your chord sequences. There are some simple hammer-ons which I haven't been able to tab here, but if you listen carefully to the song you should be able to work them out... mostly they're either on the F shape with the second finger/second fret; or else the G; with the second finger/second fret...

Enjoy!
