Eric Clapton - My Father's Eyes
E C#m A B E C#m A B
E C#m A B E C#m D
B F# B C#m
Sailing down behind the sun,
D B F# B
Waiting for my prince to come.
B F# B C#m
Praying for the healing rain
D C#m B
To restore my soul again.
E C#m A B E
Just a toerag on the run.
C#m
How did I get here?
A B
What have I done?
E C#m A B E
When will all my hopes arise?
C#m B
How will I know him?
A B E C#m
When I look in my father's eyes.
C#m B
My father's eyes.
A B E C#m
When I look in my father's eyes.
C#m B
My father's eyes.
Then the light begins to shine
And I hear those ancient lullabies.
And as I watch this seedling grow,
Feel my heart start to overflow.
Where do I find the words to say?
How do I teach him?
What do we play?
Bit by bit, I've realized
That's when I need them,
That's when I need my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
That's when I need my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
Then the jagged edge appears
Through the distant clouds of tears.
I'm like a bridge that was washed away;
My foundations were made of clay.
As my soul slides down to die.
How could I lose him?
What did I try?
Bit by bit, I've realized
That he was here with me;
I looked into my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
I looked into my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
I looked into my father's eyes.
My father's eyes
