That silver-haired daddy of mine
D - A - D
D A
D
1. In a vine covered shack in the mountains
A
bravely
fighting the battle of time,
D
D7 G
is a
dear one who's weathered life's sorrows,
D A D
it's
that silver-haired daddy of mine.
D
A D - D7
If I could recall all the heartaches,
G D
dear old Daddy, I caused you to
bear,
A D
B7
if I could erase those lines
from your face,
E E7 A - A7
and bring back the gold to your
hair.
D A D
If God would but grant me the power,
A
just to turn back the pages of
time,
D D7 G
I'd give all I own, if I could but atone
D A D
to that silver-haired daddy of
mine.
D A D
2. But I know it's to late, dear old Daddy,
A
to repay
for the sorrows and care,
D D7 G
though
dear Mother is waiting in heaven,
D A D
just
to comfort and solace you there.
