In a vine covered shack in the mountains
G7
Bravely fighting the battle of time
C F
Is a dear one who's weathered life's sorrows
C G7 C
It's that silvered haired daddy of mine

G7 C
If I could recall all the heartaches
F C
Dear old daddy I caused you to bear
G7 C
If I could erase those lines from your face
D7 G7
And bring back the gold to your hair

C G7 C
If God would but grant me the power
G7
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 silvered haired daddy of mine

G7 C
I know it's too late dear old daddy
G7
To repay for the heartaches and care
C F
But dear Mother is waiting in Heaven
C G7 C
Just to comfort and solace you there
