A little difficult. I'm not sure all the chord are right, because the
guitar play principally solo parts and not accompainment. The chords are
a "background" that could be played with a keyboard, or (in a unplugged

Sailing down behind the sun,
Waiting for my prince to come.
Praying for the healing rain
To restore my soul again.
Just a toerag on the run.
When will all my hopes arise?
When I look in my father's eyes.
When I look in my father's eyes.
Then the light begins to shine
And I hear those ancient lullabies.
And as I watch this seedling grow,
Feel my heart start to overflow.
Where do I find the words to say?
Bit by bit, I've realized
EThat's when I A2need them,
That's when I need my father's eyes.
That's when I need my father's eyes.

Then the jagged edge appears
Through the distant clouds of tears.
I'm like a bridge that was washed away;
My foundations were made of clay.
As my soul slides down to die.
Bit by bit, I've realized
That he was here with me;
I looked into my father's eyes.
I looked into my father's eyes.
I looked into my father's eyes.
