My Fathers Eyes by Eric Clapton

E  A  F#m  B  (x3)  E A D  (D A E A B)

B            F#         B     A       D      A         B
Sailing down behind the sun,  Waiting for my prince to come.

B               F#      B       A      D       A     E
Praying for the healing rain    To res-tore my soul again.


C#m    A       F#m    B     E          A          F#m        B
Just a toe rag on the run.  How did I get here?  what have I done?

C#m       A      F#m     B      E          A
When will all my hopes arise?   How will I know him?

F#m       B
   When I 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                 F#       B     A     D                  F#m   B
Then the light be-gins to shine  And I-hear-those ancient lulla-bies.

B                   F#       B     A       D              A    E
And as I watch this seedling grow, feel my heart start to over-flow.

C#m        A        F#m      B     E        A          F#m        B
Where do I find the words to say?  how do I teach him? what do we play?

C#m    A         F#m  B      E             A
Bit by bit, I've rea-lized   that's when I need them,

F#m           B
That's when I 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               F#     B      A           D        A        B
Then the jagged edge appears  through the distant clouds of tears.

B                          F#     B     A       D            A       E
I'm like a bridge that was washed away; my foun-dations were made of clay.

C#m    A          F#m     B    E            A        F#m        B
As my soul slides down to die. How could I lose him? What did I try?

C#m    A     F#m    B      E           A
Bit by bit, I recog-nized  that he was with me;

F#m     B
When I looked into his (eyes).
