Intro 1
E
Tom was born in 1942
with eyes of blue
And the doctors said
B
B
his birth was far too fast
Verse 1
E
His heart stopped twice but yet he survived
As he took his first first breath,
B
B
his mother took her last
E
And his father knew that he wasn't to blame
But he never quite looked at Tom
B
the same after that
B
E
And he rarely spoke about her,
C#m
but when he did
B
He said, "Your mother used to say this
B
Chorus 1
E
"When the skies are looking bad my dear
And your heart's lost all its hope
After dawn there will be sunshine
And all the dust will go
B
The skies will clear my darling
I'll wake up with the one I love the most
E
And in the morning, I'll make you up
F#
B
Some tea and toast"
B
Verse 2
E
Well, they met through a friend
who introduced them
And the first thing Tom said was,
B
"Would you like to dance?"
B
E
They moved with each other
And when the music got slower he said,
B
"Don't let go of my hand"
B
E
He said, "It's only polite if I ask you tonight
Would it be alright,
B
if I could walk you home?"
B
E
That night he told her of his birth
and he said when it hurt
C#m
He thought about what his mother said
B
about tea and toast
B
Bridge 1
E
Well, two quick years went by,
F#
they were side by side
E
And without a plan
F#
they conceived a little child
E
He said, "Woman, I love you and this you know
F#
But I only yearn enough
for our food and clothes
G#m
But I love you and this baby
B
until the day that I die"
E
She said, "We'll take care of this little life
F#
And we'll fall in love with her baby blue eyes
G#m
And we'll be alright
B
from some advice that I know"
E
She said, "I never got to meet her,
F#
but if I did
I'm sure your mother
B
would have said this
B
Chorus 2
E
"When the skies are looking bad my dear
And your heart's lost all its hope
After dawn there will be sunshine
And all the dust will go
B
The skies will clear my darling
We'll show this baby all the love we know
E
And in the morning, I'll make you up
F#
B
Some tea and toast"
B
Bridge 2
E
Well, he took those words words and
he made them proud
F#
He worked day after day and hour after hour
G#m
So that they could buy a little house
B
just on the outside of town
E
Their little girl grew up and so did they
F#
They said that they loved each other everyday
G#m
And forty years later,
B
that brings us to now
E
And as they're walking down the street,
her grip loosens on his hand
F#
He puts his arm around her side
as she falls to the ground
G#m
He hears her breathing
and that's the only sound
E
Her body on the floor attracts a worried crowd
F#
Tears roll off his face as he says,
G#m
"Don't let go, now"
E
And he's sitting
by her bed in the hospital ward
F#
Then their daughter
G#m
walks in with a family of her own
E
She says, "Dad,
I don't know if she can hear you now
F#
But there's one thing mum
B
would want you to know"
B
Outro 1
E
"When the skies are looking bad my dear
And your heart's lost all its hope
After dawn there will be sunshine
And all the dust will go
B
The skies will clear my darling
Now it's time for you to let go
E
Our girl will wake you up in the mornin'
F#
B
With some tea and toast
