Intro: F#

      F#
In a vine covered shack in the mountains
                                C#
Bravely fighting the battle of time
           F#                          B
There's a dear one who's weathered my sorrows
              F#            C#       F#
This is that silver haired daddy of mine

   F#
If I could recall all the heartaches
          B                         F#
Dear old daddy, I've caused you to bear
   C#                   F#
If I could erase those lines from your face
      G#                         C#
And bring back the gold to your hair

    F#
If God would but grant me the power
                                C#
Just to turn back the pages of time
     F#               B
I'd give all I own if I could but atone
         F#            C#       F#
To that silver haired daddy of mine

   F#
I know it's too late, dear old Daddy
                              C#
To repay for the sorrows and cares
             F#                    B
Though dear Mother is waiting in Heaven
          F#         C#          F#
Just to comfort and solace you there
