                B0
0Tom was born in 1942 with eyes of blue
                                                 B1
1And the doctors said that his birth was far too fast
Emaj72
2His heart stopped twice, But yet he survived
                                                   B3
3As he took his first breathe, His mother took her last
Emaj74
4And his father knew that he wasn't to blame
                                                  B5
5But he never quite looked at Tom the same after that
6
7
Emaj76
8And he rarely spoke about her
             F#maj77
9But when he did
                                 B8
10He said your mother used to say this
11
12
Emaj79
13When the skies are looking bad my dear
                                     B10
14And your heart has lost all it's hope
Emaj711
15After dawn there will be sunshine
                        B12
16And all the dust will go
B13
17Skies will clear my darling, I'll wake up with the one I love the most
Emaj714                             F#maj715
18And in the morning, I'll make you up
                B16
19Some tea and toast

Emaj717
22When we met through a friend who Introduced them
                                                 B18
23The first thing Tom said was would you like to dance?
Emaj719
24They moved with each other and when the music got slower
                             B20
25He said don't let go of my hand
Emaj721
26He said It's only polite if I ask you tonight
                                            B22
27Would it be alright, if I could walk you home?
Emaj723
28That night he told of his birth and said when it hurt
F#maj724                                                 B25
29He thought about what his mother said about tea and toast
30
31
Emaj726
32Two quick years went by
                    F#maj727
33They were side by side
Emaj728                                          F#maj729
34And without a plan, they conceived a little child
Emaj730
35He said women I love you and this you know
F#maj731
36But I only have enough for our food and clothes
G#maj732
37But I love you and this baby, until the day that I die
Emaj733
38She said we'll take care of this little life
F#maj734
39And we'll fall in love with her baby blue eyes
G#maj735
40And we'll be alright from some advice that I know
41
42
E36                                           F#37
43She said I never got to meet her But if I did,
                                        B38
44I'm sure your mother would have said this
45
46
Emaj739
47When the skies are looking bad my dear
                                     B40
48And your heart has lost all it's hope
Emaj741
49After dawn there will be sunshine
                        B42
50And all the dust will go
B43
51Skies will clear my darling, I'll wake up with the one I love the most
Emaj744                             F#maj745
52And in the morning, I'll make you up
                B46
53Some tea and toast
54
55
Emaj747
56Well he took those words and he made them proud
F#maj748
57He worked day after day and hour after hour
G#maj749
58So that they could buy a little house on the outside of town
Emaj750
59The little girl grew up and so did they
F#maj751
60They said that they loved each other everyday
G#maj752
61And forty years later, that brings us to now
Emaj753
62And as they're walking down the street her grip loosens on his hand
F#maj754
63He puts his arm around her side as she falls to the ground
G#maj755
64He hears her breathing and that’s the only sound
Emaj756
65Her body on the floor attracts a worried crowd
F#maj757                                              G#maj758
66Tears rolls off his face as he says "don't let go, now"
67
68
Emaj759
69And he's sitting by her bed in the hospital ward
F#maj760                                        G#maj761
70Their daughter walks in with a family of her own
Emaj762
71She says "dad, I don't know if she can hear you now
F#maj763                                         G#maj764
72but there's one thing mum would want you to know"
73
74
Emaj765
75When the skies are looking bad my dear
                                     B66
76And your heart has lost all it's hope
Emaj767
77After dawn there will be sunshine
                        B68
78And all the dust will go
B69
79Skies will clear my darling, I'll wake up with the one I love the most
Emaj770                             F#maj771
80And in the morning, I'll make you up
                B72
81Some tea and toast
