G5          D5         C5         D5   G5       D5            B5      C5     
When I was young, my Dad would say Come on Son let's go out and play  
G5            D5          C5     D5 D5 , E5 D5 G5 C5 D5 
Sometimes it seems like yesterday      
 

G5             D5      C5      D5     G5    D5         B5    C5     
And I'd climb up the closet shelf When I was all by my-self  
G5            D5       C5     D5 D5 E5         D5     G5    
Grab his hat and fix the brim      Pretending I    was him  
 

D5             C5      G5 
No matter how hard I try 
D5                  C5       G5 
No matter how many tears I cry 
D5                  E5    D5  E5 
No matter how many years go by 
  C5           D5        C5 E5 D5 G5 E5 D5 
I still can't say good-bye 
 

G5              D5       C5       D5   G5        D5          B5        C5     
He always took care of Mom and me.   We all cut down a Christmas tree  
G5          D5        C5        D5 D5 E5 D5 G5 
 He always had some time for me       
 

C5      D5                 E5    E5 
  Wind blows through the trees 
C5                   D5           G5 
Street lights, they still shine bright 
C5      D5              E5   E5 
  Most things are the same 
      E5          C5      D5 D5  
but I miss my Dad to-night 
 

G5              D5       C5       D5   G5        D5          B5        C5     
I walked by a Salvation Army store Saw a hat like my daddy wore        
G5          D5        C5     D5 D5 E5                  D5    G5    
Tried it on when I walked in          Still trying to be like him  
 

D5             C5      G5 
No matter how hard I try 
D5                  C5       G5 
No matter how many years go by 
D5                  E5    D5  E5 
No matter how many tears I cry 
  C5           D5        C5 E5 D5 G5 E5 D5 G5 
I still can't say good-bye 
 
Enjoy, STEVE
