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.

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.
