From: [email protected] "Tear Stained Eye" by Son Volt, from "Trace" CD [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
hittin 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
St. Genevieve can hold back the water,

                 A                          D
