MY FATHER'S EYES INTRO: C#m7 A F#m7 B E A F#m7 B6 C#m7 A F#m7 B E A F#m7 B C#m7 A F#m7 B E A F#m7 B6 C#m7 A F#m7 B E A D D A E A VERSE: B F# B Sailing down behind the sun C# E F# B Waiting for my prince to come B E F# G#m7 Praying for the healing rain C# D A E To restore my soul again C#m7 A F#m7 B Just a tour ride, on the run E A F#m7 B6 How did I get here, what have I done? C#m7 A F#m7 B When will all my hopes arise? E A And how will I know him, F#m7 B6 (C#m7) When I look in my father's eyes? CHORUS: C#m7 Amaj7 F#m7 B6 (Look into my father's eyes) E A A/G# F#m7 B6 (C#m7) My father's eyes When I look in my father's eyes C#m7 Amaj7 F#m7 B6 (Look into my father's eyes) E A D My father's eyes D A E A VERSE: (B) Then the light begins to shine I hear those ancient lullabyes And as I wath the seedling grow I feel my heart starts to overflow Where do I find the words to say? How do I teach him, what do we play? Bit by bit, I realize That's when I need them, that's when I need my father's eyes CHORUS: (Look into my father's eyes) My father's eyes That's when I need my father's eyes (Look into my father's eyes) B6 E A F#m7 G# My father's eyes GUITAR SOLO: A E (I think only these two chords was used during the first part of the solo, then the intro starts over again, ending up with these chords): D A E A VERSE: (B) When the jagged edge appears Through the distant clouds of tears Like a bridge that was washed away My foundations were made of clay And as my soul slides down todie How could I lose him, what did I try? Bit by bit, I realize That he was here with me, I looked into my father's eyes CHORUS: FADE OUT Enjoy the correct chords!
