G                            D7              G
The years have been many the years have been long

                             A7        D7
But at last I'm returning to daddy and home

     G                        C          G
He's looking my way though he hardly can see

                          D7         G   G7
God bless my old daddy he recognized me


        C                      G
There's snow in his hair and I helped put it there

  D7                G
A halo of worry and care

      C                         G
As my daddy grows old he's more precious than gold

                  D7          G
For I cherish the snow in his hair


                                 D7            G
His shoulders were bent with the weight of the years

                               A7            D7
I scarcely could hold back the flood tide of tears

   G                        C         G
He walked with a cane as he stumbled along
 
                     D7         G    G7
Comin’ to meet me to welcome me home


        C                      G
There's snow in his hair and I helped put it there

  D7                G
A halo of worry and care

      C                         G
As my daddy grows old he's more precious than gold

                  D7          G
For I cherish the snow in his hair
