Version 1
            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
