Tom: E
E7+
Tom was born in 1942
With eyes of blue
B B* B B* B
And the doctors said that his birth was far too fast
E7+
His heart stopped twice
But yet he survived
As he took his first breathe
B B* B B* B
His mother took her last
E7+
And his father knew that he wasn’t to blame
B B* B B* B
But he never quite looked at Tom the same after that
E
And he rarely spoke about her
F#
But when he did
B B* B B* B
He said your mother used to say this
E7+
When the skies are looking bad my dear
And your heart has lost all it’s hope
E7+
After dawn there will be sunshine
And all the dust will go
B
Skies will clear my darling
B
I’ll wake up with the one I love the most
E7+ F#*
And in the morning, I’ll make you up
B B* B B* B
some tea and toast
E7+
When we met through a friend
Who introduced them
B B* B B* B
The first thing Tom said was would you like to dance?
E7+
They moved with each other and when the music got slower
B B* B B* B
He said don’t let go of my hand
E7+
He said It’s only polite if I ask you tonight
B B* B B* B
Would it be alright, if I could walk you home?
E7+
That night he told her of his birth
And said when it hurt
F# B B* B B* B
He thought about what his mother said about tea and toast
E7+
Two quick years went by
F#*
They were side by side
E7+ F#*
And without a plan, they conceived a little child
E7+
He said women I love you and this you know
F#*
But I only have enough for our food and clothes
G#min
But I love you and this baby
Until the day that I die
E7+
She said we’ll take care of this little life
F#*
And we’ll fall in love with her baby blue eyes
G#min
And we’ll be alright from some advice that I know
E7+
She said I never got to meet her
F#* B B* B B* B
But if I did, I’m sure your mother would have said this
E7+
When the skies are looking bad my dear
And your heart has lost all it’s hope
E7+
After dawn there will be sunshine
And all the dust will go
B
Skies will clear my darling
B
We'll show this baby all the love we know
E7+ F#*
And in the morning, I’ll make you up
B B* B B* B
some tea and toast
E7+
Well he took those words and he made them proud
F#*
He worked day after day and hour after hour
G#min
So that they could buy a little house on the outside of town
E7+
The little girl grew up and so did they
F#*
They said that they loved each other everyday
G#min
And forty years later, that brings us to now
E7+
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#min
He hears her breathing and that's the only sound
E7+
Her body on the floor attracts a worried crowd
F#* G#min
Tears rolls off his face as he says “don’t let go, now”
E7+
And he’s sitting by her bed in the hospital
F#* G#min
Their daughter walks in with a family of her own
E7+
She says “dad, I don’t know if she can hear you now
F#* G#min
but there’s one thing mum would want you to know”
E7+
When the skies are looking bad my dear
And your heart has lost all it’s hope
E7+
After dawn there will be sunshine
And all the dust will go
B
Skies will clear my darling
B
Now it's time for you to let go
E7+ F#*
And in the morning, I’ll make you up
B B* B B* B
With some tea and toast
