Key D..Banjo tuned to E …Moderate to slow


(D) Steel  blue  eyes
And coal-black (A) hair
 Not large  in  size
But strong as a (D) bear

His eyes could cut right thru (D) you
Or soften to corn-flower (A) blue
 Reflecting, and under- standing
And  caring……(D) too

Late (G) in life, the  cataracts (D) came
Primitive methods took his lenses (A) too 
 Replaced by thick  glasses, what a  shame
No more  eyes of (D) blue

Dad told me in last few (D) days
He had been to earths edge, and I (A) knew
As  he whispered those words,
I saw, once again those eyes of (D) blue

I saw, once again (A) those eyes of (D) blue
