That Silver-Haired Father Of Mine

CGC-/C-G-/C-F-/CGC-

In a vine-covered - shack - in the mountains,
Bravely fighting the battle of - time,
Is a dear one who's weathered life's - sorrows,
Tis that silver-haired - daddy of - mine.

CGC-/CFC-/GCAC/D-G-

If I could - recall all the - heartaches,
Dear old - daddy, I've caused you to - bear.
If I could - erase those - lines from your - face,
And bring back the gold to your - hair.

If god would but grant me the power,
Just to turn back the pages of - time.
I'd give all I own if - I could but atone,
To that silver-haired daddy of mine.

I know it's too late, dear old daddy,
To repay for the sorrow and cares.
Though, dear Mother, is waiting in heaven,
Just to comfort and solace you there.
 
If I could recall all the heartaches,
Dear old daddy, I've caused you to bear.
If I could erase those lines from your face,
And bring back the gold to your hair.

If god would but grant me the power,
Just to turn back the pages of time.
I'd give all I own if I could but atone,
To that silver-haired daddy of mine.
