My Fathers Eyes by Eric Clapton
E A F#m B (x3) E A D (D A E A B)
[B]Sailing down [F#]behind the [B]sun, [A]Waiting [D]for my [A]prince to [B]come.
[B]Praying for the [F#]healing [B]rain [A]To res-[D]tore my [A]soul a[E]gain.
[C#m]Just a [A]toe rag [F#m]on the [B]run. [E]How did I g[A]et here? w[F#m]hat have I [B]done?
[C#m]When will [A]all my [F#m]hopes ar[B]ise? [E]How will I [A]know him?
[F#m] When I [B]look in to his (eyes)
C#m A F#m B (x3) C#m A D (D A E A B)
Look in-to my fathers eyes
[B]Then the light be-[F#]gins to s[B]hine [A]And I-[D]hear-those ancient [F#m]lulla-[B]bies.
[B]And as I watch this [F#]seedling [B]grow, [A]feel my [D]heart start to [A]over-[E]flow.
[C#m]Where do I [A]find the [F#m]words to [B]say? [E]how do I [A]teach him? [F#m]what do we [B]play?
[C#m]Bit by [A]bit, I've [F#m]rea-l[B]ized [E]that's when I [A]need them,
[F#m]That's when I [B]need my father's (eyes.)
C#m A F#m B (x3) C#m A D
Bridge:
E A D (x3) D A A E (D A E A B)
[B]Then the jagged [F#]edge ap[B]pears [A]through the [D]distant c[A]louds of [B]tears.
[B]I'm like a bridge that was [F#]washed [B]away; [A]my foun-[D]dations were [A]made of [E]clay.
[C#m]As my s[A]oul slides [F#m]down to [B]die. [E]How could I l[A]ose him? [F#m]What did I [B]try?
[C#m]Bit by [A]bit, I[F#m] recog-[B]nized [E]that he was [A]with me;
[F#m]When I l[B]ooked into his (eyes).
Outro:
C#m A F#m B x3 C#m A D (D A E A B)
