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
