      A#            F            A#
In a vine covered shack in the mountains
                                F
bravely fighting the battle of time,
      A#             A#7              D#
is a dear one who's weathered life's sorrows,
           A#            F        A#
it's that silver-haired daddy of mine.

Chorus:
   A#
If I could recall all the heartaches,
          D#                     A#
dear old Daddy, I caused you to bear,
   F                    A#              G
if I could erase those lines from your face,
      C             C7           F
and bring back the gold to your hair.
    A#             F           A#
If God would but grant me the power,
                                F
just to turn back the pages of time,
     A#        A#7     D#
I'd give all I own, if I could but atone
         A#            F        A#
to that silver-haired daddy of mine.

But I know it's too late, dear old Daddy,
to repay for the sorrows and care,
though dear Mother is waiting in heaven,
just to comfort and solace you there.

Chorus
