Chords

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. MY FATHER EYES (Eric Clapton 1998) (Pilgrim album)

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. ************************************ | p Pull-off | b Bend | / Slide up | \ Slide down ************************************
