  			Intro: Dm 

Verse: 1 
  Dm           Bb             F          C 
I followed the night till the morning sunlight 
      G              Bb       F 
And I thought of the changing times 
      Dm           Bb             F         C 
And I followed the child with the evergreen smile 
        G           Bb             F 
And the blue broken tears start to cry 

Bridge 
Bb          Am    G             F 
Blue broken tears hide away the years 
Dm        G         C        Dm Dm 
Misty highway seems colder today 

Verse: 2 
      Dm         Bb            F         C 
And I saw a Waterlow where the evergreen grows 
        G        Bb           F 
And the wise man knows why he crys 
      Dm      Bb             F             C 
And I heard a child call me away from this all 
        G          Bb             F 
And the blue broken tears start to rise 

Bridge 
Bb          Am    G            F 
Blue broken tears ain't nobody here 
Dm          G      C          Dm Dm 
Lost in the sun my only young one 
Bb          Am        G         F 
Blue broken tears our love disappears 
    Dm        G    C             Dm 
The evergreen dies drowned in my eyes
