C 
In a vine-covered shack in the mountains 
                               G7 
Bravely fighting the battle of time 
          C                               F 
There's a dear one who's weathered life's sorrows 
          C             G7       C 
It's that silver haired daddy of mine 
 
 
 
If I could recall all the heartaches 
         F                         C 
Dear old daddy, I've caused you to bear 
G7                     C  
If I could erase those lines from your face 
    D                           G7 
And bring back the gold to your hair 
 
 
    C 
If God would but frant me the power 
                               G7 
Just to turn back the pages of time 
    C                 F 
I'd give all I own if I could but atone 
         C             G7       C 
To that silver haired daddy of mine 
 
 
 
I know it's too late, dear old daddy 
     F                       C 
To repay for the sorrows and cares 
        G7                    C 
Tho dear mother is waiting in Heaven 
         D                      G7 
Just to comfort and solace you there
