Chords for Lucy Spraggan - Tea And Toast Lyrics

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