;A ; ;A
[intro - slide lead]
;A ; ;D
[slide lead] [2 bar
bridge
; ; ;
for key change] Sailing down behind the sun, waiting for
my
; ; ;C#m
Prince to come. Praying for the healing rain to restore
my
;E ;A ;E
soul again. Just a poor [?] on the run. How did I get
here?
;E ; ;E
What Have I done? When will all my hopes arise, & how will I
know
;E ; ;E
when, when I look in MFE? [LIMFE] My father's eyes...
;E ; ;E
..when I look in MFE [LIMFE] My father's eyes.
; ; ;
[2 bar bridge for key change] Then the light begins to
shine,
; ; ;
I hear those ancient lullabies. And as I watch the seedling
grow,
; ;E ;A
feel my heart start to overflow. Where do I find the words to
say?
;A ; ;A
How do I teach him? What do we play? Bit by bit, I've
realized,
;A ; ;
that's when I need them, that's when I need MFE [LIMFE] My
father's
;A ; ;
eyes. That's when I need MFE [LIMFE] My
father's
; ; ;
eyes. [yeahhhh ah ah ah] [distortion guitar with slide
; ; ;
guitar lead overlay]
; ; ;
[] [distortion ends....] [slide guitar lead]
;A ; ;A
[lead continues]
;A ; ;
When the jagged edge appears
; ; ;
thru the distance, clouds of tears. I'm like a bridge that was
washed
; ;E ;A
away, my foundations were made of clay. As my soul slides down to
die,
;A ; ;A
how could I lose him, what did I try? Bit by bit, I've
realized,
;A ; ;
that he will be with me, I'll look into MFE [LIMFE] My
father's
;A ; ;
eyes. I'll look into MFE [LIMFE] My
father's
;A ; ;
eyes [slide lead] MFE [LIMFE] My
father's
;A ; ;
eyes [slide] I look into MFE [LIMFE] My
father's
;A ; ;
eyes [slide] [LIMFE]
;A ; ;
[slide] [LIMFE]
;A ; ;
[LIMFE]
;A ; ;
[end]
Fo' a' that 'n' a' that
It's comin' yet, fo' a' that
That man to man, the world o'er
Will brothers be, fo' a' that.
Robbie Burns
