Intro 1
C

Tom was born in 1942

with eyes of blue

And the doctors said
G
G

his birth was far too fast
Verse 1
C

His heart stopped twice but yet he survived

As he took his first first breath,
G
G

his mother took her last
C

And his father knew that he wasn't to blame

But he never quite looked at Tom
G

the same after that
G

C

And he rarely spoke about her,
Am

but when he did
G

He said, "Your mother used to say this
G

Chorus 1
C

"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
G

The skies will clear my darling

I'll wake up with the one I love the most
C

And in the morning, I'll make you up
D
G

Some tea and toast"
G

Verse 2
C

Well, they met through a friend

who introduced them

And the first thing Tom said was,
G

"Would you like to dance?"
G

C

They moved with each other

And when the music got slower he said,
G

"Don't let go of my hand"
G

C

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

Would it be alright,
G

if I could walk you home?"
G

C

That night he told her of his birth

and he said when it hurt
Am

He thought about what his mother said
G

about tea and toast
G

Bridge 1
C

Well, two quick years went by,
D

they were side by side
C

And without a plan
D

they conceived a little child
C

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

But I only yearn enough

for our food and clothes
Em

But I love you and this baby
G

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
G

from some advice that I know"
C

She said, "I never got to meet her,
D

but if I did

I'm sure your mother
G

would have said this
G

Chorus 2
C

"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
G

The skies will clear my darling

We'll show this baby all the love we know
C

And in the morning, I'll make you up
D
G

Some tea and toast"
G

Bridge 2
C

Well, he took those words words and

he made them proud
D

He worked day after day and hour after hour
Em

So that they could buy a little house
G

just on the outside of town
C

Their little girl grew up and so did they
D

They said that they loved each other everyday
Em

And forty years later,
G

that brings us to now
C

And as they're walking down the street,

her grip loosens on his hand
D

He puts his arm around her side

as she falls to the ground
Em

He hears her breathing

and that's the only sound
C

Her body on the floor attracts a worried crowd
D

Tears roll off his face as he says,
Em

"Don't let go, now"
C

And he's sitting

by her bed in the hospital ward
D

Then their daughter
Em

walks in with a family of her own
C

She says, "Dad,

I don't know if she can hear you now
D

But there's one thing mum
G

would want you to know"
G

Outro 1
C

"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
G

The skies will clear my darling

Now it's time for you to let go
C

Our girl will wake you up in the mornin'
D
G

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.
