  [E] Just a tour[A]ride, on [C#m] the run [B] 
  [E] How did I [A] get here, what [C#m] have I done [B]
  [E] When will [A] all my hopes [C#m] arise [B]

  [B] Then the light begins [F#] to shine [B]
  [C#m] And I hear those [C#m7] ancient [F#] lullabyes [B]

  [E] Where do I [A] find [C#m] the words to say [B] 
  [E] And how do I [A] teach him, what [C#m] do we play [B]
  [E] Bit by [A] bit, [C#m] I realize [B] 
  [E] That's when I [A] need them, 
  [C#m] That's when I need [B] my father's eyes [E]

  [B] When the jagged edge [F#] appears [B]

  [E] Bit by [A] bit, [C#m] I realize [B] 
  [E] That he was here [A] with me, 
  [C#m] and I looked into [B] my father's eyes [E]

  I decided to post this tab, when I saw the other tab of 
  "My father´s eyes". I hope you´ll think this one is better.
  It was hard to transcribe it, but if you think it´s hard to play,
  follow my ordinary advice.
          "-If you got the cd, listen to the song, and play!"
  
  Enjoy! John.H (Visit http://user.tninet.se/~jax696n/ for more clapton tabs)
