Tom: G
G D
Daddy’s been gone
Em
Gone for so long
C
For him I pray
[Verse 2]
G D
He joined the corps
Em
Fighting a war
C G
Somewhere far away
[Verse 3]
G D
He promised me he’d return
Em
When the Chanukah candles burn
C G
So here I wait
[Verse 4]
G D
The blessings I recite
Em
By the candlelight
D
But it’s getting late
[Chorus]
Em C
Daddy come home
G
Stay with me
D
Let me hold your hand
Em
Let me sit upon your knee
C
I see fear
G
In Mommy’s eyes
D
Every time she cries
Em
And tries to comfort me
[Verse 5]
G D
It’s scary here at home
Em
My mind begins to roam
C
Have I lost you
G D
I hear the phone
Em
Mommy’s mournful moan
D
It can’t be true
[Chorus]
Em C
Daddy come home
G
Stay with me
D
Let me hold your hand
Em
Let me sit upon your knee
C
I see fear
G
In Mommy’s eyes
D
Every time she cries
Em
And tries to comfort me
[Bridge]
C D
Where has he gone?
G D
How will I carry on?
Am Em
Tell me what can I say?
D
I need to pray…
N.C.
Please hear my plea
N.C.
Send my Daddy home to…
[Verse 6]
Em C
…Who’s that I hear
G
Calling my name
D
I run into his arms
Em
Yes, my Daddy came
C
Home to me
G
He’s on his knees
D
Now he’s holding me
Em
For all eternity.
Em C
Now, as night falls
G
We stand tall
D
Eight candles burning bright
Em
And they’re lighting up the night
C
Home at last
G
Eyes aglow
D
I hug my Daddy tight
G
And I’m not letting go
