Chords for Lucy Spraggan - Tea & Toast (Official Video)

[E] Tom was born in 1942 [B] with eyes of blue and the doctor said his birth was far too fast _ _ _ _ _
[E] His heart stopped twice, but yet he survived as he [B] took his first breath his mother took her last
And _ _ _ [E] his father knew that he wasn't to blame, but he [B] never quite looked at Tom the same after that _ _ _ _ _
[E] And he rarely spoke about her, but [F#] when he did he said your mother used [B] to say this _ _ _ _ _
[A] When the skies are [E] looking back my dear and your heart's lost all its hope
At the dawn there will be sunshine and all the dust will go
[B] The skies will clear back that day
I'll wake up with the one I love the most [Em] and in the morning.
I'll make you up [F#m] _ _ [C#m]
[B] some tea and toast
_ Well, _ _ _ [E] they met through a friend who introduced them and the first thing Tom said [B] was would you like to dance? _ _ _ _ _
[E] They moved with each other and when the music got slower, he [B] said don't let go of my hand
He _ _ _ [E] said it's only polite if I ask you tonight, would it be alright if I could [B] walk you home? _ _ _ _ _
[E] That night he told her of his birth and he said when it [F#] hurt he thought about what his mother said about [B] tea and toast _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] Well two quick years they went by they were [F#] side by side
And [E] without a plan they conceived a [F#] little child _ _
[E] He said woman I love you and this you know, [F#] but I only wanna know for our building [G#m] close
But I love you in this baby until the day that I die
She [E] said we'll take care of this little [F#] life
We'll fall in love with her baby [G#m] blue eyes and we'll be alright from some advice that I know
She [E] said I never got to meet her.
But [F#] if I did I'm sure your mother would [B] have said this _ _ _ _ _
When the [F#] skies are [E] looking up my dear and your hearts lost all his hope
After dawn there will be sunshine and all the dust will [B] go
The skies will clear my darling.
We'll show this baby all the love we know [Em] and in the morning.
I'll make you up
[F#m] _ _
some [B] tea and toast _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] Well, he took those words and he made them [F#] proud he worked day after day and hour after [G#m] hour
They could buy a little house just on the outside of town
The [E] little girl so did they [F#] they said that they loved each other every [G#m] day and 40 years later
That brings us to now _
[E] And there's a walking down the street her grip loosens on his [A] hand he puts her arm around his side as she [B] falls to the
[E] Ground he hears her breathing and that's the only sound _ _ a body on the floor tracks a worried [C#m] crowd
Roll off his [A] face as he says don't [E] let go [G#m] now
_ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ [F#] When _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ the _ _ _
_ [E] skies are looking up my dear and your hearts lost all its [F#m] hope
[E] After dawn there will be sunshine and all the dust will [B] go
The skies will clear my darling now.
It's time for you to let go
[E] I'll go to wake you up in the morning
[F#] _ _
