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
