Eric Clapton - My Father’s Eyes: chords

B             F#         B
Sailing down behind the sun,
C#       E      F#        B
Waiting for my prince to come.
B        E       F#     G#m
Praying for the healing rain
C#     D       A     E
To restore my soul again.

C#m      A     F#m     B
Just a toe rag on the run.
 E         A       F#m            B
How did I get here?  what have I done?
When will all my hopes arise?
How will I know him?
When I look in my father's eyes

C#m      A     F#m     B
(Look into my father's eyes)
             E  A F#m
My father's eyes
            B              C#m
When I look in my father's eyes
C#m      A     F#m     B
(Look into my father's eyes)
             E  A D
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

Chorus

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 look into my father's eyes
