Eric Clapton
My Father's Eyes
Tabbed by Jonathan Rider

I've noticed that there are lots of versions with big bits wrong with
them, so I've put all the right parts in one TAB. Make sure you use
lots of vibrato, so you can sound just like the man himself. I don't
have the ending yet, but I'll get it as soon as. Enjoy!

Sailing down, behind the sun,
Waiting for my prince to come.
Praying for the healing rain
To restore my soul again.

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.

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 looked into my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
I looked into my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.

My father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
I looked into my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
