F
|
|
Daddy's been gone
|
|
Gm
|
|
Gone for so long
|
|
Eb Bb
|
|
For him I pray
|
|
F
|
|
He joined the Corps
|
|
Gm
|
|
Fighting a war
|
|
Eb Bb
|
|
Somewhere far away
|
|
F
|
|
He promised me he'd return
|
|
Gm
|
|
When the Chanukah candles burn
|
|
Eb Bb
|
|
So here I wait
|
|
F
|
|
The blessings I recite
|
|
Gm
|
|
By the candle-light
|
|
F
|
|
But it's getting late
|
|
Gm Eb
|
|
Daddy come home
|
|
Bb
|
|
Stay with me
|
|
F
|
|
Let me hold your hand
|
|
Gm
|
|
Let me sit upon your knee
|
|
Eb
|
|
I see fear
|
|
Bb
|
|
In Mommy's eyes
|
|
F
|
|
Every time she cries
|
|
Gm Bb
|
|
And tries to comfort me
|
|
F
|
|
It's scary here at home
|
|
Gm
|
|
My mind begins to roam
|
|
Eb Bb
|
|
Have I lost you?
|
|
F
|
|
I hear the phone
|
|
Gm
|
|
Mommy's mournful moan
|
|
Eb
|
|
It can't be true!
|
|
Gm Eb
|
|
Daddy come home
|
|
Bb
|
|
Stay with me
|
|
F
|
|
Let me hold your hand
|
|
Gm
|
|
Let me sit upon your knee
|
|
Eb
|
|
I see fear
|
|
Bb
|
|
In Mommy's eyes
|
|
F
|
|
Every time she cries
|
|
Gm
|
|
And tries to comfort me
|
|
Eb F
|
|
Where has he gone?
|
|
Bb F
|
|
How will I carry on?
|
|
Cm Gm
|
|
Tell me what can I say?
|
|
F
|
|
I need to pray
|
|
Eb
|
|
Please hear my plea
|
|
Eb
|
|
Send my Daddy home to
|
|
Gm Eb
|
|
Who's that I hear
|
|
Bb
|
|
Calling my name
|
|
F
|
|
I run into his arms
|
|
Gm
|
|
Yes, my Daddy came
|
|
Eb
|
|
Home to me
|
|
Bb
|
|
He's on his knees
|
|
F
|
|
Now he's holding me
|
|
Gm
|
|
For all eternity
|
|
Eb
|
|
Now, as night falls
|
|
Bb
|
|
We stand tall
|
|
F
|
|
Eight candles burning bright
|
|
Gm
|
|
And they're lighting up the night
|
|
Eb
|
|
Home at last
|
|
Bb
|
|
Eyes aglow
|
|
F
|
|
I hug my Daddy tight
|
|
Eb F Bb
|
|
And I'm not letting go!
