D A D

[VERSE 1] 
     D            A            D        
In a vine covered shack in the mountains
                               A
bravely fighting the battle of time,
     D              D7               G
is a dear one who's weathered life's sorrows,
          D             A        D
it's that silver-haired daddy of mine.

[CHORUS]
   D          A           D            D7
If I could recall all the heartaches,
         G                      D
dear old Daddy, I caused you to bear,
   A                   D 
if I could erase those lines from your face,
    E              E7           A
and bring back the gold to your hair.
   D             A            D
If God would but grant me the power,
                               A
just to turn back the pages of time,
    D          D7      G
I'd give all I own, if I could but atone
        D             A        D
to that silver-haired daddy of mine.
 
[VERSE 2]
      D             A              D
But I know it's too late, dear old Daddy,
                             A
to repay for the sorrows and care,
            D         D7         G
though dear Mother is waiting in heaven,
        D           A          D
just to comfort and solace you there.
 
[CHORUS]
   D          A           D            D7
If I could recall all the heartaches,
         G                      D
dear old Daddy, I caused you to bear,
   A                   D 
if I could erase those lines from your face,
    E              E7           A
and bring back the gold to your hair.
   D             A            D
If God would but grant me the power,
                               A
just to turn back the pages of time,
    D          D7      G
I'd give all I own, if I could but atone
        D             A        D
to that silver-haired daddy of mine.
