(ver. 1)
Eric Clapton
[Intro]
 
 
C#m   Amaj7   A6   B   B/A
G#   A   A/G#   F#   B
C#m   Amaj7   A6   B   B/A
G#   Amaj7   D
D A   E   F#   B
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
 
B    C#m         F#         B
   Sailing down behind the sun
Amaj7      E     F#         B
   Waiting for my prince to come
B   C#m          F#         G#
   Praying for the healing rain
Amaj7    D       A      E
   To restore my soul again
 
 
C#m       Amaj7     A6   B   B/A
     Just a toe rag on the run
G#             A   A/G#  F#        B
     How did I get here? What have I done?
C#m       Amaj7       A6      B   B/A
     When will all my hopes arise?
G#              A   A/G#  F#           B
     How will I know him? When I look in my father's eyes
 
 
[Chorus]
 
C#m   Amaj7   A6   B   B/A
G#   A   A/G#   F#   B
C#m   Amaj7   A6   B   B/A
G#   Amaj7   D
D A   E   F#   B
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
 
B   C#m           F#              B
   Then the light begins to shine
Amaj7               E       F#        B
   And I hear those ancient lullabies
B           C#m        F#       G#
   And as I watch this seedling grow
Amaj7      D              A    E
   Feel my heart start to overflow
 
 
C#m            Amaj7   A6        B   B/A
    Where do I find    the words to say?
G#           A   A/G#   F#         B
    How do I teach him? What do we play?
C#m        Amaj7    A6     B   B/A
    Bit by bit,     I've realized
G#                A    A/G#  F#            B
    That's when I need them. That's when I need my father's eyes
 
 
[Chorus]
 
C#m   Amaj7   A6   B   B/A
G#   A   A/G#   F#   B
C#m   Amaj7   A6   B   B/A
G#   Amaj7   D
 
 
[Bridge]
 
 
E   A   D x 4
E   A   D   A   D   A   E x 2
E   A   D   A                 D A     E x 4
              We're really so far away
E   A   D
D A   E   F#   B
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
 
B     C#m          F#       B
   Then the jagged edge appears
Amaj7          E       F#        B
   Through the distant clouds of tears
B      C#m                    F#         G#
   I'm like a bridge that was washed away
Amaj7     D            A       E
   My foundations were made of clay
 
 
C#m       Amaj7    A6          B   B/A
    As my soul     slides down to die
G#              A   A/G#  F#         B
    How could I lose him? What did I try?
C#m        Amaj7   A6    B   B/A
    Bit by bit,    I've realized
G#                   A    A/G#    F#         B
    That he was here with me,     I looked into my father's eyes
 
 
[Chorus]
 
 
C#m   Amaj7    A6   B   B/A
G#   A   A/G#  F#   B
C#m   Amaj7    A6   B   B/A
G#   A   A/G#  F#   B
 
[Outro]
 
C#m       Amaj7    A6          B   B/A
    As my soul     slides down to die
G#              A   A/G#  F#         B
    How could I lose him? What did I try?
C#m        Amaj7   A6    B   B/A
    Bit by bit,    I've realized
G#                   A    A/G#    F#         B
    That he was here with me,     I looked into my father's eyes
 
C#m   Amaj7   A6   B   B/A
G#   A   A/G#  F#   B
C#m   Amaj7   A6   B   B/A
G#   Amaj7   D
D A   E   F#   B
