Chords for Tea and Toast - Lucy Spraggan - Lyrics

[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ Tom was born in 1942 with eyes of blue and the doctor said his birth was [B] far too fast
His _ _ _
_ [E] heart stopped twice, but yet he survived as he took his first breath his [B] mother took her last
And _ _ _ [E] his father knew that he wasn't to blame but he never quite looked at Tom the [B] same after that _ _ _ _ _
[E] And he rarely spoke about her, but when [Gb] he did he said your mother used to [B] say this _ _ _ _ _
[E] When the skies are looking for my dear and your heart's lost all this [B] hope
[E] After dawn there will be sunshine and all the dust [D] will go
[B] Skies will clear my darling.
I wake up with the one I love the [Em] most and in the morning.
I'll make you up
[B] _ _
some tea and toast _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] [E] Well, he met through a friend who introduced them and the first thing Tom said [B] was would you like to dance? _ _ _ _ _
[D] [E] They moved with each other and when the music got slower, he said [B] don't let go of my hand
He _ _ _
[Em] [E] said it's only polite if I ask you tonight, would it be alright [B] if I could walk you home? _ _ _ _ _
[G] That [E] night's order of his birth and he said when it hurt [Gbm] he thought about what his [B] mother said about tea and toast
Well _ _ _ _
[G] [Em] two quick years they went by they [B] were side by side
[Em] And without a plan they conceived [B] the little child _
[E] He said woman.
I love you.
I'm this you [B] know, but I only had enough for our food [Abm] and clothes
But I love you in this baby until the day that I die
She [Em] said we'll take care of this little [B] life and we'll fall in love with her baby [Abm] blue eyes and we'll be alright
From some advice that I know
[Em] She [E] said I never got to meet [Em] her.
But if I [Gb] did I'm sure your mother [B] would have said this _ _ _ _ _
[G] [E] When the skies are looking for my dear and your heart's lost [D] all this hope
[E] At the dawn there will be sunshine and all the dust will [B] go
Skies will clear my darling.
We'll show this baby all the love we know [E] and in the morning.
I'll make you up
[B] _ _
some tea and toast
Well, _ _ _ _
[Em] he took those words and he made them proud
He [B] worked day after day and hour after hour [Abm] so they could buy a little house just on the outside of town _ _
[Em] The little girl grew up and so did [B] they they said that they loved each other
[Abm] Everything and four years later
That brings us to now _
[E] And as they're walking down the street her grip loosens on his hand
He [B] puts her arm around her side as she falls to the ground.
He [Abm] hears her breathing and that's the only sound _
Her [E] body on the floor attracts a worried crowd [Gbm] tears roll off his face as he says don't [Abm] let go now _ _ _ _
[E] And he's sitting by a bed in the hospital warden [B] their daughter walks in with a [Abm] family of her own
She _ _
_ [G] [E] says that I don't know she can hear [Em] you now, [Gb] but there's one thing mom would want [B] you to know _ _ _ _
_ [E] When the skies are looking for my dear and your heart's lost all its [Bm] hope
[E] After dawn there will be sunshine and all the dust will [Bm] go
[B] Skies will clear my darling now.
It's time for you to let go
[Em] I gotta wake you up in the morning
_ [B]
with some tea and toast _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
