F#                           F#
In a vine covered shack in the mountains
                               C#7
Bravely fighting the battle of time
     F#                               B
Is a dear one who's weathered life's sorrows
          F#               C#7       F#
It's that silvered haired daddy of mine

 F#                         F#
If I could recall all the heartaches
         B                     F#
Dear old daddy I caused you to bear
   C#7                  F#
If I could erase those lines from your face
    G#7                          C#7
And bring back the gold to your hair

   F#                       F#
If God would but grant me the power
                          C#7
To turn back the pages of time
    F#                 B
I'd give all I own If I could but atone
        F#               C#7       F#
To that silvered haired daddy of mine

   F#                       F#
I know it's too late dear old daddy
                                C#7
To repay for the heartaches and care
    F#                         B
But dear Mother is waiting in Heaven
        F#           C#7         F#
Just to comfort and solace you there
