G                        D7 
I am dreaming tonight of an old southern town 

                                G 
And the best friend that I ever had 

    C                      G 
For I've grown so weary of roaming around 

A7                   D7 
I'm going home to my dad 


G                       D7 
Your hair has turned to silver  

                          G 
And I know you're failing too 

C              G 
Daddy dear old daddy  

A7                 D7 
I'm coming back to you 


G                     D7 
You made my childhood happy  

    C                 B7 
But still I longed to roam 

C                   G        E7 
I've had my way but now I'll stay  

  A7       D7          G 
I long for you and for home 


                             D7 
Dear daddy you shared all my sorrows and joys 

                              G 
You tried hard to bring me up right 

  C                    G 
I know you'll still be one of the boys 

A7                     D7 
I'm starting back home tonight 


G                       D7 
Your hair has turned to silver 
  
                          G 
And I know you're failing too 

C              G 
Daddy dear old daddy 
  
A7                 D7 
I'm coming back to you 


G                     D7 
You made my childhood happy  

    C                 B7 
But still I longed to roam 

C                   G        E7 
I've had my way but now I'll stay  

  A7       D7          G 
I long for you and for home 


C                   G        E7 
I've had my way but now I'll stay  

  A7       D7          G 
I long for you and for home
