[Verse]
D C D
When I was young my dad would say
G D G C
Come on son lets go out and play
G D C D Dsus2 D Em D/F G
seems like only yesterday
D C D
When I was all by myself
G D G C
I'd climb up the closet shelf
G D C D Dsus2 D
Find his hat and fix the brim
Em D/F G
Pretending I was him
[Chorus]
D C G
No matter how hard I try
D C G
No matter how many tears I cry
D Am
No matter how many years go by
Am7 D G
I still can't say goodbye
[Verse]
D C D
He took good care of Mom and Me
G D G C
We all cut down the Christmas tree
G D C D Dsus2 D Em D/F G
And he always had some time for Me
G D G
Wind blows through the trees
C G
Streetlight they still shine bright
C D Em D
Most things are still the same
Am Am7 D
But I miss my dad tonight
D C D
I walk by a salvation army store
G D G C
Saw a hat like my daddy wore
G D C D Dsus2 D
Tried it on and fixed the brim
Em D/F G
Still trying to be like him
[Chorus]
D C G
No matter how hard I try
D C G
No matter how many tears I cry
D Am
No matter how many years go by
Am7 D G
I still can't say goodbye
