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).
