In a vine-covered shack in the mountains,
Bravely fighting the [B] battle of time,
[E] Is a dear one who's weathered my [A]
sorrows,
[E] Tis that silver [B]-haired daddy [E] of mine.
If I could recall all the heartaches,
Dear [A] old daddy, I've caused you [E] to bear.
[B] If I could erase [F#] those lines from your [C#] face,
[F#] And bring back the gold to [B] your hair,
[E] If God would but grant me the power,
Just to turn back the pages [B] of time,
[B] [E] I'd give all I own, [A] if I could but atone,
To [E] that silver [B]-haired daddy [E] of mine.
Oh, I know it's too late, dear old daddy,
To repay all those [B] sorrows and cares,
Though [E] dear mother is waiting in heaven,
[A] Just [E] to comfort [B] and soothe us [E] here then.
