Intro 1
Tom was born in (E major) 1942
with eyes of blue
And the doctors said
his birth was far too fast (B major) (B major)
Verse 1
His (E major) heart stopped twice but yet he survived
As he took his first first breath,
his mother took her (B major) last (B major)
And his (E major) father knew that he wasn't to blame
But he never quite looked at Tom
the same after that (B major)
(B major)
And he (E major) rarely spoke about her,
but when he did (C sharp minor)
He said, "Your mother used to say (B major) this
(B major)

Chorus 1
"When the (E major) skies are looking bad my dear
And your heart's lost all its hope
After dawn there will be sunshine
And all the dust will go
The (B major) skies will clear my darling
I'll wake up with the one I love the most
And in the (E major) morning, I'll make you up
(F sharp major) Some tea and toast" (B major)
(B major)
Verse 2
Well, they (E major) met through a friend
who introduced them
And the first thing Tom said was,
"Would you like to dance?" (B major)
(B major)
They (E major) moved with each other
And when the music got slower he said,
"Don't let go of my (B major) hand"
(B major)
He said, "It's (E major) only polite if I ask you tonight
Would it be alright,
if I could walk you home?" (B major)
(B major)
That night he (E major) told her of his birth
and he said when it hurt
He (C sharp minor) thought about what his mother said
about tea and toast (B major)
(B major)
Bridge 1
Well, (E major) two quick years went by,
they were side by (F sharp major) side
And with (E major) out a plan
they conceived a little child (F sharp major)
He said, (E major) "Woman, I love you and this you know
But I (F sharp major) only yearn enough
for our food and clothes
But I (G sharp minor) love you and this baby
until the day that I (B major) die"
She said, (E major) "We'll take care of this little life
And we'll (F sharp major) fall in love with her baby blue eyes
And (G sharp minor) we'll be alright
from some advice that I (B major) know"
She said, "I (E major) never got to meet her,
but if I did (F sharp major)
I'm sure your mother
would have said (B major) this
(B major)
Chorus 2
"When the (E major) skies are looking bad my dear
And your heart's lost all its hope
After dawn there will be sunshine
And all the dust will go
The (B major) skies will clear my darling
We'll show this baby all the love we know
And in the (E major) morning, I'll make you up
(F sharp major) Some tea and toast" (B major)
(B major)
Bridge 2
Well, he (E major) took those words words and
he made them proud
He worked (F sharp major) day after day and hour after hour
So that (G sharp minor) they could buy a little house
just on the outside of (B major) town
Their (E major) little girl grew up and so did they
They said (F sharp major) that they loved each other everyday
And (G sharp minor) forty years later,
that brings us to (B major) now
And as they're (E major) walking down the street,
her grip loosens on his hand
He puts his (F sharp major) arm around her side
as she falls to the ground
He hears her (G sharp minor) breathing
and that's the only sound
Her (E major) body on the floor attracts a worried crowd
Tears roll (F sharp major) off his face as he says,
"Don't let go, (G sharp minor) now"
And he's (E major) sitting
by her bed in the hospital ward
Then their (F sharp major) daughter
walks in with a family of her (G sharp minor) own
She says, (E major) "Dad,
I don't know if she can hear you now
But there's (F sharp major) one thing mum
would want you to (B major) know"
(B major)
Outro 1
"When the (E major) skies are looking bad my dear
And your heart's lost all its hope
After dawn there will be sunshine
And all the dust will go
The (B major) skies will clear my darling
Now it's time for you to let go
Our girl will (E major) wake you up in the mornin'
(F sharp major) With some tea and toast (B major)
