Intro: D Dsus4 , D Dsus4 D (x2) 
 
verse 1 
D            D4/9         A7sus4               D 
I may not be every mother's dream for her little girl 
D                    D4/9           A7sus4           D 
And my face may not grace the mind of everyone in the world 
     G                 F#           Bm 
But that's alright as long as I can have one wish I pray... 
 Esus4           E               Em                  Em       Bm A 
When people look inside my life, I want to hear them say... 
 
Pre-Chorus 
            D/F#               Fdim 
She has her Father's eyes, her Father's eyes 
Em                  F#m 
Eyes that find the good in things 
      G           F#m 
When good is not around 
     G                 D          Bm 
And eyes that find the source of help 
Em                      Asus4     A 
When help just can't be found 
       G           Dmaj7/F#        G      Dmaj7/F# 
And eyes full of compassion, seeing every pain 
G                    D    Bm       Esus4       E      Em      A 
Knowin' what you're going through, and feeling it the same 
 
 
              D 
Just like my Father's eyes 
   C 
My Father's eyes 
   B               Em      A 
My Father's eyes-----------es 
             D2              Dsus4    D2       Dsus4 
Just like my Father?s eyes 
 
verse 2 
D                 D4/9         A7sus4                D 
On that day when we will pay for all the deeds we have done 
D                         D4/9        A7sus4        D 
Good and bad well they'll all be had to see by every one 
    G                      F#                  Bm 
And when they're called to stand and tell just what you saw in me 
    Esus4        E 
And more than anything I know 
Em                    Em    Bm A 
I want their words to be 
 
Pre-Chorus 
            D/F#               Fdim 
She has her Father's eyes, her Father's eyes 
Em                  F#m 
Eyes that find the good in things 
      G           F#m 
When good is not around 
     G                 D          Bm 
And eyes that find the source of help 
Em                      Asus4     A 
When help just can't be found 
       G           Dmaj7/F#        G      Dmaj7/F# 
And eyes full of compassion, seeing every pain 
G                    D    Bm       Esus4       E      Em      A 
Knowin' what you're going through, and feeling it the same 
 
 
              D 
Just like my Father's eyes 
   C 
My Father's eyes 
   B               Em      A 
My Father's eyes-----------es 
             D2              Dsus4    D2       Dsus4 
Just like my Father?s eyes
