C#m A F# B Bit by bit, I recognized E A That he was here with me; F# B C#m I looked into my father's eyes. C#m A F# B As my soul slides down to die. E A How could I lose him? F# B What did I try? C#m A F# B Bit by bit, I recognized E A That he was here with me; F# B C#m I looked into my father's eyes. Outro: C#m A F#7 B C#m C#m A F#7 B C#m C#m F# D (D A E F# B)
