Merle Haggard - Still Can't Say Goodbye

G D G

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

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
