[Verse 1]
D                           A
I am dreaming tonight of an old Southern town
                                D
And the best friend that I ever had
         G                 D
For I've grown so weary of roaming around
    E7                    A     A7
I'm going back home to my dad

[Chorus 1]
     D                  A
Your hair has turned to silver
                     D
I know you're fading too
G               D
Daddy, dear ol' Daddy
    E      E7      A7
I'm coming back to you

[Chorus 2]
    D               A
You made my boyhood happy
    G                 F#
But still I longed to roam
G                    D        B7
I've had my way, but now I'll say
   E        A           D
"I long for you and for home"

[Break]

[Verse 2]
D                             B7          A
Dear ol' Daddy, you shared my sorrows and joy
    A7       A           D
You tried to bring me up right
  G                         D
I know you'll still be just one of the boys
       E             E7     A      A7
So I'm starting back home tonight

[Chorus 1]
     D                  A
Your hair has turned to silver
                     D
I know you're fading too
G               D
Daddy, dear ol' Daddy
    E7             A
I'm coming back to you

[Chorus 2]
    D               A
You made my boyhood happy
    G                 F#
But still I longed to roam
G                    D        B7
I've had my way, but now I'll say
   Em       A           D
"I long for you and for home"

[Break]
| D | D | D | G |
             Daddy!
