Verse 1

C                 G7           C
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

Verse 2

             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

Verse 3

   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

Verse 4

                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

Verse 2

             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
