I am dreaming tonight of an old Southern town
                     C5
And the best friend that I ever had
        F5        C5
For I've grown so weary of roaming around
    D5             G5
Im going back home to my Dad

     C5                 G5
Your hair has turned to silver
                      C5
I know you are fading too
 F5                C5
Daddy dear ol' daddy!
     D5            G5
Im coming back to you

   C5                 G5
You made my boyhood happy
       F5                E5                          (riff)
But still I longed to roam                     E | --------- | 
   F5                 (riff)     A5             C | ---------
I've had my way but now I'll say               G | --------- | 
      G5                   C5                    E | ---------
I long for you and for home.                   C | -3-2-1-0- |

Dear old Daddy, you shared my sorrows and joys.
                         C5
You tried to bring me up right.
  F5                          C5
I know you'll still be just one of the boys,
        D5                  G5
So I'm starting back home tonight.

   C5                 G5
You made my boyhood happy
     F5                E5
But still I longed to roam
 F5                 (riff)     A5
I've had my way but now I'll say
    G5                   C5
I long for you and for home.
