<< Back to Eric Clapton Song List

Version 1

            [Intro]
E  A  F#m  B  (x3)  
E A D  (D A E A B)

[Verse 1]
B       E     F#         G#m                    C#m       E   F#         B
Sailing down behind the sun,                     Waiting for my prince to come.
B       E     F#         G#m                    C#m    D       A     E 
Praying for the healing rain                     To restore 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        F#m            B
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                         E    A      F#m             B  
Look into my fathers eyes, my father's eyes.                   When I look in my father's eyes.
C#m     A     F#m     B                         E    A  D   D  A  E  A
Look into my fathers eyes, my father's eyes.                   
B       E     F#         G#m                   C#m       E   F#         B
Then the light begins to shine                 And I hear those ancient lullabies.
B       E     F#         G#m                   C#m    D       A     E 
And as I watch this seedling grow,              feel my heart start to overflow.
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        F#m            B
Bit by bit,        I've realized                That's when I need them,  That's when I need my father's eyes.

[Instrumental]
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)

[Verse 2]
B       E     F#         G#m                   C#m       E   F#         B
Then the jagged edge appears.                   Through the distant clouds of tears.
B       E     F#         G#m                   C#m    D       A     E 
I'm like a bridge that was washed away.         My foundations 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            F#m        B
Bit by bit, I've realized                       that he was here with me; I looked into my father's eyes.

[Outro]
C#m  A  F#m  B  (x3) 
C#m A D  (D A E A B)
