Chords for Steve Wariner - Two Teardrops - LIVE at the ACM Awards in 1998

_ _ From Nashville, here is country music legend Chet Atkins.
_ I heard this next artist considers me one of his mentors.
Well, that's good.
I appreciate that.
Not only am I flattered, I'm grateful because
before I ever met him, he was already a fine picker and singer.
_ My best advice to Steve was after the first hits, try to figure out how to have more hits.
Ten or twenty years down the line, _ obviously he figured it out.
Ladies and gentlemen, I'm very proud to introduce my good friend, Steve Warner.

_ _ _ _ Two teardrops were floating down the river.
One teardrop said to the other,
[D] I'm from the soft blue eyes of a woman [F] in love.
_ _ [F] _
_ I [Gm] could tell from the look on her [F]
face she [Bb] didn't need me.
_ So _ _ _ [G] I drifted on [F] down and caught me a ride to [C] the sea. _ _ _ _
_ [F] The other tear [Bb] said we've got a connection.
[F] I'm a tear of sorrow born of rejection.
_ [Gm] I'm from the [C] sad brown eyes of a road [F] flame. _ _ _ _ _
[Gm] I could tell he had a lot of my [F] friends for [Bb] company.
_ So _ _ [F] _
_ [D] I [F] drifted on down [Bb] and caught [G] me a ride [C] to the sea. _ _ _ _
[Dm] Oh, the ocean's a little [Am] bit bigger tonight.
[Bb] Two more [F] teardrops, [C] somebody cried.
[Dm] One of them happy [Am] and one of them blue.
Were [Bb] that blue?
_ _ [C] _ _ _
[Dm] The tide goes out and [Am] the tide comes in.
[Bb] And someday there'll [F] be teardrops [C] again.
_ [Dm] Released in a moment [Am] of pleasure or a moment [Bb] of pain.
_ _ _ [F] _
[Gm] Then they drift [F] on down and [C] ride to the sea [F] again.
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ [G] _ _
[F] Last night I sat in the waiting room.
The nurse walked in and gave me the news.
[Gm] It's [D] a baby girl and they're [F] both fine.
_ _ [G] _ _ _
[F] An old man sitting not ten feet away just lost his wife.
And he said to me, _ [G] you've got a brand new angel and I've [F] lost mine. _ _ _ _
I [D] guess the good Lord giveth [F] and the good Lord taketh [Bb] away. _ _ _ _ _
[Gm] And we [F] both wiped a [Bb] teardrop [A]
from [C] our face. _ _ _ _
[Dm] Oh, the ocean's a little [Am] bit bigger tonight.
_ [F] Two more teardrops, somebody [C] cried.
_ [Dm] One of them happy [Am] and one of them blue.
Were [Bb] that blue?
_ [C] _ _ _
[Dm] The tide goes out and [Am] the tide comes in.
[Bb] And a whole new circle [F] of life [C] begins.
[Dm] Where tears are a part of [Am] the pleasure and part of [Bb] the _ pain.
_ _ [F] _
[Gm] Till they drift [F] on down and [C] ride to the sea [F] _ again.
_ [Bb] _ [F] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ [F] Two teardrops floating down the river. _ _ _ _ _ _
