What A Memory

G

On the day momma died she called daddy to her side

C D

And said I’ll be goin’ soon, I know it’s gonna hurt you both

C D

But promise me before I go you’ll do what I ask of you

G

In a big red folgers can hid behind the pots and pans

C

You’ll find some money that I’ve saved

D

And in the back of my dresser drawer

G C D

I put away a little more for a rainy day

Em C

Go to town and buy that new guitar

Em C

Cause he’s been workin’ awful hard

G C D C D

To get his own, to write his songs…

(chorus)

G Em C

Oh what a memory, oh what a memory

Am C

And even in her final moments momma thought of me

G C D C D

What a memory

G

She was only thirty-five, I was fifteen askin’ why

C D

The lord took her away, he must’ve known we needed her

C D

She was an angel here on earth, I still miss her everyday

G

With all her friends and half the town

And her family gathered round

C

I bet she never felt so loved

D

When everybody’s heads were bowed

G C D

I did my best to make her proud, as I stood up

Em C

And I sang rock of ages clear from me

Em C

As I played it on that new six string

G C D C D

I couldn’t help but cry, as we said goodbye

(repeat chorus)

Am

Even in her final moments

C

Momma thought of me

G C

What a memory

G

What a memory

Not sure about the words in the last verse after “rock of ages”………

Please let me know if anyone knows what they are!
