"You know, every time I look in the mirror I see my Dad.

I think that's why this song means so much to me."

Capo II

G C D, G C D

G          D         C         D   G       D            Bm      C    

When I was young, my Dad would say Come on Son let's go out and play

G            D          C     Dsus4 D , Em D/F# G C D

Sometimes it seems like yesterday    

G             D      C      D     G    D         Bm    C    

And I'd climb up the closet shelf When I was all by my-self

G            D       C     Dsus4 D Em         D/F#     G  

Grab his hat and fix the brim      Pretending I    was him

D             C      G

No matter how hard I try

D                  C       G

No matter how many tears I cry

D                  Em    D  Em/C#

No matter how many years go by

  C           D        C Em D/F# G Em D/F#

I still can't say good-bye

G              D       C       D   G        D          Bm        C    

He always took care of Mom and me.   We all cut down a Christmas tree

G          D        C        Dsus4 D Em D/F# G

He always had some time for me      

C      D                 Em    Em/D

  Wind blows through the trees

C                   D           Gmaj7

Street lights, they still shine bright

C      D              Em   Em/D

  Most things are the same

      Em/C#          C      Dsus4 D

but I miss my Dad to-night

G              D       C       D   G        D          Bm        C    

I walked by a Salvation Army store Saw a hat like my daddy wore      

G          D        C     Dsus4 D Em                  D/F#    G  

Tried it on when I walked in          Still trying to be like him

D             C      G

No matter how hard I try

D                  C       G

No matter how many years go by

D                  Em    D  Em/C#

No matter how many tears I cry

  C           D        C Em D/F# G Em D/F# G

I still can't say good-bye

Enjoy, STEVE
