@SONG: * LOOK AWAY
(tabbed by randell@heinous.music.uiowa.edu
 and Paul Hutchinson )

(riff-see tab)  
Saw her standing there
Tears upon her cheeks told me something was wrong
I asked her what it was
She looked away and said, "My daddy's home"

(riff)
I knew what that meant
It meant that I can never see you again
I had seen this once before
I didn't wanna deal with it anymore

   G       Em
    "Look away", she said
   D            D/F# G
    As she turned a-way from me
         Em
    And I tried to hold her
   D            D/F# G
    Couldn't let her be
            Em          D   D/F#
    Let her be, let her be

(riff)
I said "Why,
Why do you make me cry"
She said, "I love you so
Look away, I don't wanna know"

(riff)
I saw her standing there
Tears upon her cheek told me something's wrong
I said, "What baby"
She looked away and said, "My daddy's home"

    "Look away", she said
    As she turned away
    My God, I know I loved her, couldn't let her be
    Let her be, let her be

(riff)
Look away
Look away
She said, "I love you so
Look away"
