C5 
In a vine-covered shack in the mountains 
                               G5 
Bravely fighting the battle of time 
          C5                               F5 
There's a dear one who's weathered life's sorrows 
          C5             G5       C5 
It's that silver haired daddy of mine 
 
 
 
If I could recall all the heartaches 
         F5                         C5 
Dear old daddy, I've caused you to bear 
G5                     C5  
If I could erase those lines from your face 
    D5                           G5 
And bring back the gold to your hair 
 
 
    C5 
If God would but frant me the power 
                               G5 
Just to turn back the pages of time 
    C5                 F5 
I'd give all I own if I could but atone 
         C5             G5       C5 
To that silver haired daddy of mine 
 
 
 
I know it's too late, dear old daddy 
     F5                       C5 
To repay for the sorrows and cares 
        G5                    C5 
Tho dear mother is waiting in Heaven 
         D5                      G5 
Just to comfort and solace you there
