Capo 4th Fret
C
Tom was born in 1942
With eyes of blue
G
And the doctors said that his birth was far too fast
C
His heart stopped twice
But yet he survived
As he took his first breathe
G
His mother took her last
C
And his father knew that he wasn?t to blame
G
But he never quite looked at Tom the same after that
C
And he rarely spoke about her
D
But when he did
G
He said your mother used to say this
C
When the skies are looking bad my dear
And your heart has lost all it?s hope
After dawn there will be sunshine
And all the dust will go
C
Skies will clear my darling
I?ll wake up with the one I love the most
C D
And in the morning, I?ll make you up
G
With some tea and toast...
C
Whell they met through a friend
Who introduced them
G
The first thing Tom said was would you like to dance?
C
They moved with each other and when the music got slower
G
He said don?t let go of my hand
C
He said It?s only polite if I ask you tonight
G
Would it be alright, if I could walk you home?
C
That night he told of of his birth
And said when it hurt
D G
He thought about what his mother said about tea and toast
C
Two quick years went by
D
They were side by side
C D
And without a plan, they could see a little child
C
He said women I love you and this you know
But I only have enough for our food and clothes
Em
But I love you and this baby
Until the day that I die...
C
She said we?ll take care of this little life
And we?ll fall in love with her baby blue eyes
Em
And we?ll be alright from some advice that I know
C
She said I never got to meet her
D G
But if I did, I?m sure your mother would have said this...
C
When the skies are looking bad my dear
And your heart has lost all it?s hope
C
After dawn there will be sunshine
And all the dust will go
C
Skies will clear my darling
We?ll show this baby all the love we know
C D
And in the morning, I?ll wake you up
G
With some tea and toast
C
Well he took those words
And he made them proud
C
He worked day after day
And hour after hour
Em
So they could buy a little house on the outside of town
C
The little girl grew up and so did they
C
They said that they loved each other everyday
Em
And forty years later, that brings us to now
G
And as they?re walking down the street
Her grip loosens on his hand
C
He puts his arm around her side as she falls to the ground
Em
He hears her breathing and thats the only sound
C
Her body on the floor attracts a worried crowd
Em
Tears rolls off his face as he says ?don?t let go, now?
C
And he?s sitting by her bed in the hospital ward
C Em
And their daughter walks in with a family of her own
C
She says ?dad, I don?t know if she can hear you now
G
but there?s one thing mum would want you to know?
C
When the skies are looking bad my dear
And your heart has lost all it?s hope
C
After dawn there will be sunshine
And all the dust will go
C
Skies will clear my darling
Now it?s time for you to let go
C C D
I'm gonna wake you up in the morning
G
With some tea and toast
