G                C        D               G       C    D 
  I went driving   on the northern plains, 
G                C             D             G       C    D 
  I went rolling   through the fields of grain. 
G                      C                D 
  I thought about you,   can't live without you, 
G                 C 
  no matter how I try. 
G                          D 
  There's something sacred 
                                 G        G 
the way the tears fall from your eyes. 
 

 
G               C      D             G       C    D 
  I went flying   in a big jet plane, 
G                   C         D             G       C    D 
  across the ocean,   just to know your name. 
G                  C                    D 
  Island princess,   it's my heart's concern, 
G                            C 
  I should've never said goodbye. 
G                          D 
  There's something sacred 
                              G        G 
when the tears fall from your eyes. 
 

 
        C     C                 G         G 
Let 'em fall,   let 'em fall on me. 
        C     C                D   D/C   D/B   D 
Let 'em fall,   let 'em set me free 
 

 
G                 C       D            G       C    D 
  I went dreaming   and I saw your face 
G                    C       D             G       C    D 
  and in that moment   I was touched by grace 
G                    C            D 
  And all alone now,   I hear the wolves howl 
G                        C 
  and it makes me wonder why. 
G                          D 
  There's something sacred 
                              G     C 
when the tears fall from your eyes 
G                     D 
  It's always sacred, 
                                 G     C 
the way the tears fall from your eyes. 
G                          D 
  There's something sacred 
                                 C    C/B C/A   {G} 
the way the tears fall from your eyes.
