[Verse 1]

 Am     Dm        Am
Weary blues from waitin'
 Am              B7          E7
Lord, I've been waitin' too long
        Am        Dm     Am     D7
These blues have got me cryin'
Am                  E7          Am    D7
  Oh, sweet daddy, please come home


[Verse 2]

     Am          Dm       Am
The snow falls 'round my window
    Am                 E7
But it can't chill my heart
 Am            Dm       Am      D7
Lord knows it died the day you left
          Am    E7     Am   D7
My dream world fell a part.


[Verse 3]

 Am     Dm        Am
Weary blues from waitin'

Lord, I've been waitin' too long
        Am        Dm     Am     D7
These blues have got me cryin'
Am                  E7          Am    D7
  Oh, sweet daddy, please come home

[Verse 4]
      Am      Dm          Am
Thru tears I watch young lovers
Am                   E7
As they go strollin' by
Am           Dm          Am         D7
Oh, all the things that might have been
Am            E7     Am     D7
God forgive me if I cry.
