Tonalité : B major
Intro 1
Eadd9
Tom was born in 1942
with eyes of blue
And the doctors said
B
Badd4
B
Badd4
his birth was far too fast
Verse 1
Eadd9
His heart stopped twice but yet he survived
As he took his first first breath,
B
Badd4
B
Badd4
his mother took her last
Eadd9
And his father knew that he wasn't to blame
But he never quite looked at Tom
B
Badd4
the same after that
B
Badd4
Eadd9
And he rarely spoke about her,
B
Badd4
He said, "Your mother used to say this
B
Badd4
Chorus 1
Eadd9
"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
Eadd9
B/F#
And in the morning, I'll make you up
F#/C#
B
Badd4
Some tea and toast"
B

Verse 2
Eadd9
Well, they met through a friend
who introduced them
And the first thing Tom said was,
B
Badd4
"Would you like to dance?"
B
Badd4
Eadd9
They moved with each other
And when the music got slower he said,
B
Badd4
"Don't let go of my hand"
B
Badd4
Eadd9
He said, "It's only polite if I ask you tonight
Would it be alright,
B
Badd4
if I could walk you home?"
B
Badd4
Eadd9
That night he told her of his birth
and he said when it hurt
C#m9
He thought about what his mother said
B
Badd4
about tea and toast
B
Badd4
Bridge 1
Eadd9
Well, two quick years went by,
F#add9
they were side by side
Eadd9
And without a plan
F#add9
they conceived a little child
Eadd9
He said, "Woman, I love you and this you know
F#add9
But I only yearn enough
for our food and clothes
G#m7
But I love you and this baby
Badd9
until the day that I die"
Eadd9
She said, "We'll take care of this little life
F#add9
And we'll fall in love with her baby blue eyes
Badd9
from some advice that I know"
Eadd9
She said, "I never got to meet her,
B/F#
F#/C#
but if I did
I'm sure your mother
B
Badd4
would have said this
B
Badd4
Chorus 2
Eadd9
"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
Eadd9
B/F#
And in the morning, I'll make you up
F#/C#
B
Badd4
Some tea and toast"
B
Badd4
Bridge 2
Eadd9
Well, he took those words words and
he made them proud
F#add9
He worked day after day and hour after hour
G#m7
So that they could buy a little house
Badd9
just on the outside of town
Eadd9
Their little girl grew up and so did they
F#add9
They said that they loved each other everyday
G#m7
And forty years later,
Badd9
that brings us to now
Eadd9
And as they're walking down the street,
her grip loosens on his hand
F#add9
He puts his arm around her side
as she falls to the ground
E/G#
He hears her breathing
and that's the only sound
Eadd9
Her body on the floor attracts a worried crowd
F#add9
Tears roll off his face as he says,
by her bed in the hospital ward
F#add9
Then their daughter
E/G#
walks in with a family of her own
I don't know if she can hear you now
F#/C#
But there's one thing mum
B
Badd4
would want you to know"
B
Badd4
Outro 1
Eadd9
"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
Eadd9
Our girl will wake you up in the mornin'
F#add9
B
With some tea and toast
