[Verse 1]
B        E      F#           B
 Sailing down behind the sun,
C#           E  F#         B
  Waiting for my  prince to come.
B       E        F#          B
 Praying for the healing rain
C#     D        E
  To restore my soul again.

[Pre-Chorus]
C#m       Amaj7 F#m7       B
   Just a toerag    on the run.
E          A
 How did I get here?
F#m7           B
    What have I done?
C#m                Amaj7
   When will all my
F#m7       B
    hopes arise?
E           A
 How will I know him?
F#m7              B                 C#m Amaj7
    When I look in my father's eyes.

[Chorus]

      My father's eyes.

F#m7              B                 C#m Amaj7
    When I look in my father's eyes.
F#m7 B                 E A E D/F# D A E F#
      My father's eyes.

[Verse 2]
B              E  F#           B
 Then the light begins to shine
C#          E             F#     B
  And I hear those ancient  lullabies.
B        E           F#            B
 And as I watch this seedling grow,
C#        D              E
  Feel my heart start to overflow.

[Pre-Chorus]
C#m          Amaj7    F#m7            B
   Where do I     find    the words to say?
E         A
 How do I teach him?
F#m7          B
    What do we play?
C#m       Amaj7 F#m7        B
   Bit by bit,      I've realized
E              A
 That's when I need them,
F#m7                  B       C#m       Amaj7
    That's when I need my father's eyes.

      My father's eyes.

[Verse 3]
B         E          F#       B
 Then the jagged edge  appears
C#               E   F#         B
  Through the distant  clouds of tears.
B           E              F#            B
 I'm like a bridge that was  washed away;
C#       D            E
  My foundations were made of clay.

[Pre-Chorus]
C#m         Amaj7    F#m7               B
   And as my     soul    slides down to die.
E            A
 How could I lose him?
F#m7          B
    What did I try?
C#m       Amaj7 F#m7        B
   Bit by bit,      I've realized
E                A
 That he was here with me;
F#m7           B         C#m       Amaj7
    I looked into my father's eyes.

[Chorus]
F#m7 B
      My father's eyes.
E A E
F#m7           B              C#m  Amaj7
    I looked into my father's eyes.

      Oh, my father's eyes.

[Pre-Chorus]
C#m      Amaj7 F#m7               B
   As my soul      slides down to die.
E            A
 How could I lose him?
F#m7          B
    What did I try?
C#m       Amaj7 F#m7        B
   Bit by bit,      I've realized

 That he was here with me;

      My father's eyes.

      My father's eyes,   oh, my father
