Flowers For Mama

E B E


E                       A    E
Papa brought flowers for Mama today
                                        B
and all the grow children, but it's not Mothers Day
E                         A      E
I don't heve no money, not even a dime
                                 B            E
but I brought Mama flowers like I have all the time

[Verse]
E                                   A      E
Every day I'd pick flowers from this pretty hill
                                B
a small box of daisy's and a few daffodils
E                            A          E
I'd bring them to Mama at the end of the day
                                B      E
and say flowers for Mama, here's Mama's bouquet

[VERSE 2]
E                                 A       E
They'd brighten her face and she'd hold me close
                                        B
she'd say they were more precious than a beautiful rose
E                                A           E
and she wore a smile sweeter than millions of flowers
                                     B       E
a smile that I'll carry through life's darkest hour

[SPOKEN VERSE]
E                                         A            E
Now Mama was lying there, yes they tell me she'd passed away
                                                B
and she was surrounded by flowers that outshined my bouquet
E                                  A       E
I know mine aren't fancy, but still all the while
                                         B        E
they were placed in her hand and I know I saw Mama smile

[Outro]
E                         A    E
Flowers for Mama, I picked them today
                            B
not very much, just a simple bouquet
E                       A        E
Mom Wasn't so fancy, but up there above
                                  B         E
she's the prettiest flower in God's garden of love
