I am dreaming tonight of an old Southern town
                     C
And the best friend that I ever had
        F        C
For I've grown so weary of roaming around
    D7             G7
Im going back home to my Dad

     C                 G
Your hair has turned to silver
                      C
I know you are fading too
 F                C
Daddy dear ol' daddy!
     D7            G7
Im coming back to you

   C                 G
You made my boyhood happy
       F                E                          (riff)
But still I longed to roam                     E|---------|
   F                 (riff)     Am             C|---------|
I've had my way but now I'll say               G|---------|
      G                   C                    E|---------|
I long for you and for home.                   C|-3-2-1-0-|

        C                      F           G
Dear old Daddy, you shared my sorrows and joys.
                         C
You tried to bring me up right.
  F                          C
I know you'll still be just one of the boys,
        D7                  G7
So I'm starting back home tonight.

   C                 G
You made my boyhood happy
     F                E
But still I longed to roam
 F                 (riff)     Am
I've had my way but now I'll say
    G                   C
I long for you and for home.
