John Prine - Far From Me Ukulele Chords

[Opening]
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

[section 2]
And [A]I hummed a long with the [D]tune
She [C]asked me to change the [G]station
Said the [C]song just drove her [D]insane
But it [G]weren’t 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 just like a [D]diamond [G]ring
But its [C]far, [D]far from [G]me

[section 3]
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

[section 4]
And I [A]wished for once I weren’t [D]right
Why we [C]used to laugh to[G]gether
And we’d [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.

[chorus]
And the [C]sky is black and [G]still now
On the [C]hill where the angels [D]sing
Ain’t it [C]funny how an old broken [G]bottle
Looks just like a [D]diamond [G]ring
But its [C]far, [D]far from [G]me

[section 5]
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]hadn’t gone far in my [G]beat old car

[Closing]
And [A]I was prepared for the [D]worst.
[C]Will you still see me to[G]morrow?
[C]No I got too much to [D]do.
Well a [G]question ain’t really a [C]question
If you [D]know the answer [G]too.

[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 just like a [D]diamond [G]ring
But its [C]far, [D]far from [G]me
