E TWO TEARDROPS were Esus4 floatin' down the river.
E One teardrop s Esus4 aid to the other;
F#m7 I'm from the soft blue B7sus4 eyes of a woman in love.
I'm a tear of joy she just couldn't carry.
She was so happy. She'd just gotten married.
I was on her cheek when she wiped me away with her glove.
F#m7 I could tell by the look on her G#m7 face she didn't need Amaj7 me.
F#m7 So I drifted on G#m7 down and Amaj7 caught me a A#m7b5 ride to the Bsus4 sea. B7
(Verse 2)
The other tear said; We've got a connection.
I'm a tear of sorrow born of rejection.
I'm from the sad brown eyes of her old flame.
She told him they would be life-long companions.
Left him with questions and not any answers.
I was on his cheek as he stood there callin' her name.
I could tell he had a lot of my friends for company
so I drifted on down and caught me a ride to the sea.
(Chorus 1)
C#m7 Oh, the oceans a little bit G#m7 bigger tonight.
Amaj7 Two more teardrops E somebody cried.
C#m7 One of them happy and G#m7 one of them bluer than AMaj7 blue. B7
C#m7 The tide goes out and the G#m7 tide comes in.
Amaj7 Someday there'll be E teardrops again.
C#m7 Released in a moment of G#m7 pleasure for a moment of Amaj7 pain.
And they F#m7 drift on G#m7 down and Bsus4 ride to the sea again.
(Intro)
(Verse 3)
Last night I sat in the waiting room.
The nurse walked in and gave me the news.
It's a baby girl and they're both fine.
Old man sitting not ten feet away.
Just lost his wife. Said to me;
You've got brand new angel and I lost mine.
I guess the Good Lord giveth and the Good Lord taketh away.
And we both wiped a tear drop from our face.
(Chorus 2)
Oh, the oceans a little bit bigger tonight.
Two more teardrops somebody cried.
One of them happy and one of them bluer than blue.
The tide goes out and the tide comes in.
A whole new circle of life begins
where tears are part of the pleasure and part of the pain.
Till they drift on down and ride to the sea again.
(Intro riff repeat and fade)
TWO TEARDROPS floatin' down the river. (two teardrops)
TWO TEARDROPS floatin' down the river.
(two teardrops)
These chords are the way I've arranged it to perform. They are not what
Steve Wariner is playing throughout the song. As a matter of fact, they
are not (in all cases) called what they are referred to here. If you
like the way they sound, you're welcome to them.
That's the way I like it. I also have a cute little arrangement of the
intro that I will forward when I get it tabbed out for you.
Enjoy,
Your Friend,
