G                   D        C                    D 
When I was young, my Dad would say
 G           D                 G/B         C    
Come on Son let's go out and play
G                       D           C        Dsus4 D , Am7  D/F# G C D
Sometimes it seems like yesterday     

G                      D         C         D        
Then I'd climb up the closet shelf
 G     D           G/B       C    
When I was all by my-self
G            D    C                  Dsus4  D  
Grab his hat and fix the brim
[ch]Am7/E[/ch]       D/F#       G   
Pretending I    was him 

Chorus
D                       C        G
No matter how hard I try
D                               C          G
No matter how many tears I cry
D                               Em    D   A/C#
No matter how many years go by
    C              D              C      Am7   D/F#     G C  D 
I still can't say good-bye




G                       D         C             D        
He always took care of Mom and me.
G        D                 G/B             C    
We all cut down a Christmas tree 
G                D              C           Dsus4  D    Am7   D/F#   G
 He always had some time for me      

Bridge
C          D                            Em    Em/D
  Wind blows through the trees
C                             D             Gmaj7
Street lights, they still shine bright

C               D                  Em   Em/D
  Moon    still looks the same
          A/C#      A           C      Dsus4 D 
but I miss my Dad to-night


G                       D           C       D        
I walked by a Salvation Army store
G        D                 G/B      C    
Saw a hat like my daddy wore       
G            D           C            Dsus4  D   
Tried it on when I walked in
[ch]Am7/E[/ch]            D/F#      G
Still trying to be like him 

D                       C         G
No matter how hard I try
D                               C           G
No matter how many years go by
        D                       Em   Em/D  A/C#
No matter how many tears   I     cry
    C                      D            C    Am7  D/F# G   Am7 D/F# G
I still can't say good-bye
