Chords with lyrics
Tom was born in 1942
With eyes of blue
G+G
And the doctors said that his birth was far too fast
C majorC
His heart stopped twice
But yet he survived
As he took his first breathe
G+G
His mother took her last
C majorC
And his father knew that he wasn't to blame
G+G
But he never quite looked at Tom the same after that
C majorC
And he rarely spoke about her
D MajorD
But when he did
G+G
He said your mother used to say this
C majorC
"When the skies are looking bad my dear
C majorC
And your heart has lost all it's hope
C majorC
After dawn there will be sunshine
G+G
And all the dust will go
G+G
Skies will clear my darling
G+G
I'll wake up with the one I love the most
C majorC D MajorD
And in the morning, I'll make you up
G+G
With some tea and toast"
C majorC
When we met through a friend
C majorC
Who introduced them
C majorC G+G
The first thing Tom said was would you like to dance?
C majorC C majorC
They moved with each other and when the music got slower
G+G
He said don't let go of my hand
C majorC C majorC
He said It's only polite if I ask you tonight
C majorC G+G
Would it be alright, if I could walk you home?
C majorC
That night he told of of his birth
C majorC
And said when it hurt
C majorC G+G
He thought about what his mother said about tea and toast
C majorC
Two quick years went by
D MajorD
They were side by side
C majorC D MajorD
And without a plan, they conceived a little child
C majorC
He said women I love you and this you know
C majorC
But I only have enough for our food and clothes
C majorC D MajorD
But I love you and this baby
G+G
Until the day that I die
C majorC
She said we'll take care of this little life
C majorC
And we'll fall in love with her baby blue eyes
C majorC
And we'll be alright
D MajorD G+G
from some advice that I know
C majorC
She said I never got to meet her
D MajorD G+G
But if I did, I'm sure your mother would have said this
C majorC
"When the skies are looking bad my dear
And your heart has lost all it's hope
C majorC
After dawn there will be sunshine
G+G
And all the dust will go
G+G
Skies will clear my darling
We'll show this baby all the love we know
C majorC D MajorD
And in the morning, I'll make you up
G+G
With some tea and toast"
C majorC
Well he took those words
C majorC
And he made them proud
C majorC
He worked day after day
C majorC
And hour after hour
C majorC G+G
So that they could buy a little house on the outside of town
G+G
The little girl grew up and so did they
G+G
They said that they loved each other everyday
C majorC G+G
And forty years later, that brings us to now
C majorC
And as they're walking down the street
C majorC
Her grip loosens on his hand
C majorC
He puts his arm around her side as she falls to the ground
C majorC G+G
He hears her breathing and that's the only sound
C majorC
Her body on the floor attracts a worried crowd
C majorC G+G
Tears rolls off his face as he says "don't let go, now"
C majorC
And he's sitting by her bed in the hospital ward
C majorC G+G
Their daughter walks in with a family of her own
C majorC
She says "dad, I don't know if she can hear you now
C majorC G+G
But there's one thing mum would want you to know"
C majorC
When the skies are looking bad my dear
And your heart has lost all it's hope
After dawn there will be sunshine
G+G
And all the dust will go
G+G
Skies will clear my darling
G+G
Now it's time for you to let go
C majorC D MajorD G+G
In the morning i'll wake you up with some tea and toast
