My Fathers Eyes

A little difficult. I'm not sure all the chord are right, because the

guitar play principally solo parts and not accompainment. The chords are

a "background" that could be played with a keyboard, or (in a unplugged

version) by himself.

As my soul slides down to die.

How could I lose him?

What did I try?

Bit by bit, I've realized

That he was here with me;

I looked into my father's eyes.

My father's eyes.

I looked into my father's eyes.

My father's eyes.

My father's eyes.

My father's eyes.

I looked into my father's eyes.

My father's eyes.
