Introduction:
C
Tom was born in 1942
With eyes of blue
G
And the doctors said that his birth was far too fast
C
His heart stopped twice
But yet he survived
G
His mother took her last
C
And his father knew that he wasn't to blame
G
But he never quite looked to Tom the same after that
C
And he rarely spoke about her
D
But when he did
C
When the skies are looking bad my dear
C G
And your heart has lost all it's hope
C
After dawn there will be sunshine
C G
And all the dust will go
G
Skies will clear my darling
I'll wake up with the one I love the most
C D
And in the morning, I'll make you up
G
Some tea and toast
When they met through a friend
C
Two quick years went by
D
They were side by side
C D
And without a plan, they conceived a little child
C
He said women I love you and this you know
D
But I only have enough for our food and clothes
Em
But I love you and this baby
Em
Until the day that I die
C
She said we'll take care of this little life
D
And we'll fall in love with her baby blue eyes
Em
And we'll be alright from some advice that I know
C
She said I never got to meet her
D G
But if I did, I'm sure your mother would have said this
When the skies are looking bad my dear
