Intro = chorus chords: D G Bm A

Verse 1:

F# G

The boy only wanted to give Mother something

D A

And all of her roses had bloomed.

F# G

Looking at her as he came rushing in with them

D A

Knowing her roses were doomed,

E F# Bm/B Bm/F#

All she could see were some thorns buried deep

E F# Bm/B A

And the tears that were cried as she tended his wounds

CHORUS: (she)

D G Bm A

And (she) knew it was love

D G Bm A

It was one (she) could understand

D G

He was showing his love,

Bm A D G Bm A

And that's how he hurt his hands.

Verse 2:

He still remembers that night as child

On his mother's knee

She held him close and she opened her bible

And quietly started to read,

And seeing a picture of Jesus he cried out,

"Momma, he's got some scars just like me."

CHORUS: (he)

(solos over a verse and chorus)

Verse 3:

Now the boy's grown and moved out on his own

When Uncle Sam comes along.

A foreign affair, but our young men were there

And luck had his number drawn.

It wasn't that long till our hero was gone

He gave to a friend what he learned from the cross.

CHORUS: (they)
