VERSE 1:
Sailing down behind [F#] the sun
[C#m] Waiting for [C#m7] my [F#] prince to come
Praying [C#m7]for the [F#] healing rain
[C#m] To restore [Bm7] my soul [F#m] again [E] (Fill 1)

(Gtr.2 plays intro, with a few minor changes)
[E] Just a tour[A]ride, on [C#m] the run
[E] How did I [A] get here, what [C#m] have I done
[E] When will [A] all my hopes [C#m] arise
[E] And how will I [A] know him,
[C#m] when I look in my father's eyes [E]
CHORUS:
[E] Look into [A] my father's [C#m] eyes
My father's eyes [E] [A] [C#m] When I look in my father's eyes[E]
[E]Look into [A] my father's [C#m] eyes
My father's eyes [E] [A] [Bm7] [A] [E] [F#m]
VERSE 2:
Then the light begins [F#] to shine
[C#m] And I hear those [C#m7] ancient [F#] lullabyes
And as I [C#m7] watch the [F#] seedling grow,
[C#m] I feel my heart [Bm7] start to [F#m] overflow [E] (Fill 2)

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

VERSE 3:
When the jagged edge [F#] appears
[C#m] Through the [C#m7] distant [F#] clouds of tears
And, I'm like a bridge [C#m7] that was [F#] washed away
[C#m] My foundations were [Bm7] made of [F#m] clay [E] (Fill 2)

[E] And as my [A] soul [C#m] slides down to die
[E] How could I [A] lose him, what [C#m] did I try
[E] Bit by [A] bit, [C#m] I realize
[E] That he was here [A] with me,
[C#m] and I looked into my father's eyes [E]
CHORUS:
[E] Look into [A] my father's [C#m] eyes
My father's eyes [E] [A] [C#m] I looked into my father's eyes[E]
[E]Look into [A] my father's [C#m] eyes
My father's eyes [E] [A] [C#m] my father's eyes
[E] Look into [A] my father's [C#m] eyes
My father's eyes [E] [A] [C#m] I looked into my father's eyes[E]*
