    Tom 
    was 
    born 
    in 
    1942 

    with 
    eyes 
    of 
    blue 

    And 
    the 
    doctors 
    said 

    his 
    birth 
    was 
    far 
    too 
    fast 

    Verse 1
    His 
    heart 
    stopped 
    twice 
    but 
    yet 
    he 
    survived 

    As 
    he 
    took 
    his 
    first 
    first 
    breath, 

    his 
    mother 
    took 
    her 
    last 

    And 
    his 
    father 
    knew 
    that 
    he 
    wasn't 
    to 
    blame 

    But 
    he 
    never 
    quite 
    looked 
    at 
    Tom 

    the 
    same 
    after 
    that 


    And 
    he 
    rarely 
    spoke 
    about 
    her, 

    but 
    when 
    he 
    did 

    He 
    said, 
    "Your 
    mother 
    used 
    to 
    say 
    this 


    Chorus 1
    "When 
    the 
    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 
    skies 
    will 
    clear 
    my 
    darling 

    I'll 
    wake 
    up 
    with 
    the 
    one 
    love 
    the 
    most 

    And 
    in 
    the 
    morning, 
    I'll 
    make 
    you 
    up 

    Some 
    tea 
    and 
    toast" 


    Verse 2
    Well, 
    they 
    met 
    through 
    friend 

    who 
    introduced 
    them 

    And 
    the 
    first 
    thing 
    Tom 
    said 
    was, 

    "Would 
    you 
    like 
    to 
    dance?" 


    They 
    moved 
    with 
    each 
    other 

    And 
    when 
    the 
    music 
    got 
    slower 
    he 
    said, 

    "Don't 
    let 
    go 
    of 
    my 
    hand" 


    He 
    said, 
    "It's 
    only 
    polite 
    if 
    ask 
    you 
    tonight 

    Would 
    it 
    be 
    alright, 

    if 
    could 
    walk 
    you 
    home?" 


    That 
    night 
    he 
    told 
    her 
    of 
    his 
    birth 

    and 
    he 
    said 
    when 
    it 
    hurt 

    He 
    thought 
    about 
    what 
    his 
    mother 
    said 

    about 
    tea 
    and 
    toast 


    Bridge 1
    Well, 
    two 
    quick 
    years 
    went 
    by, 

    they 
    were 
    side 
    by 
    side 

    And 
    with
    out 
    plan 

    they 
    conceived 
    little 
    child 

    He 
    said, 
    "Woman, 
    love 
    you 
    and 
    this 
    you 
    know 

    But 
    only 
    yearn 
    enough 

    for 
    our 
    food 
    and 
    clothes 

    But 
    love 
    you 
    and 
    this 
    baby 

    until 
    the 
    day 
    that 
    die" 

    She 
    said, 
    "We'll 
    take 
    care 
    of 
    this 
    little 
    life 

    And 
    we'll 
    fall 
    in 
    love 
    with 
    her 
    baby 
    blue 
    eyes 

    And 
    we'll 
    be 
    alright 

    from 
    some 
    advice 
    that 
    know" 

    She 
    said, 
    "I 
    never 
    got 
    to 
    meet 
    her, 

    but 
    if 
    did 

    I'm 
    sure 
    your 
    mother 

    would 
    have 
    said 
    this 


    Chorus 2
    "When 
    the 
    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 
    skies 
    will 
    clear 
    my 
    darling 

    We'll 
    show 
    this 
    baby 
    all 
    the 
    love 
    we 
    know 

    And 
    in 
    the 
    morning, 
    I'll 
    make 
    you 
    up 

    Some 
    tea 
    and 
    toast" 


    Bridge 2
    Well, 
    he 
    took 
    those 
    words 
    words 
    and 

    he 
    made 
    them 
    proud 

    He 
    worked 
    day 
    after 
    day 
    and 
    hour 
    after 
    hour 

    So 
    that 
    they 
    could 
    buy 
    little 
    house 

    just 
    on 
    the 
    outside 
    of 
    town 

    Their 
    little 
    girl 
    grew 
    up 
    and 
    so 
    did 
    they 

    They 
    said 
    that 
    they 
    loved 
    each 
    other 
    everyday 

    And 
    forty 
    years 
    later, 

    that 
    brings 
    us 
    to 
    now 

    And 
    as 
    they're 
    walking 
    down 
    the 
    street, 

    her 
    grip 
    loosens 
    on 
    his 
    hand 

    He 
    puts 
    his 
    arm 
    around 
    her 
    side 

    as 
    she 
    falls 
    to 
    the 
    ground 

    He 
    hears 
    her 
    breathing 

    and 
    that's 
    the 
    only 
    sound 

    Her 
    body 
    on 
    the 
    floor 
    attracts 
    worried 
    crowd 

    Tears 
    roll 
    off 
    his 
    face 
    as 
    he 
    says, 

    "Don't 
    let 
    go, 
    now" 

    And 
    he's 
    sitting 

    by 
    her 
    bed 
    in 
    the 
    hospital 
    ward 

    Then 
    their 
    daughter 

    walks 
    in 
    with 
    family 
    of 
    her 
    own 

    She 
    says, 
    "Dad, 

    don't 
    know 
    if 
    she 
    can 
    hear 
    you 
    now 

    But 
    there's 
    one 
    thing 
    mum 

    would 
    want 
    you 
    to 
    know" 


    Outro 1
    "When 
    the 
    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 
    skies 
    will 
    clear 
    my 
    darling 

    Now 
    it's 
    time 
    for 
    you 
    to 
    let 
    go 

    Our 
    girl 
    will 
    wake 
    you 
    up 
    in 
    the 
    mornin' 

    With 
    some 
    tea 
    and 
    toast

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
