I've Just Told Mama Goodbye Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]I hope you like it.
I've just told mama [A]goodbye.[D]
Each year on [A]Mother's [D]Day
The rose I wore [G]was [D]red
But [G]today I'm saying
[D]my first prayer
Mama's lying on [A]her dyin' [D]bed
I've just told [A]Mama goodbye
[D]Mother's day has [A]turned [G]to[D]
Like the [G]flowers in May,
she's [D]weathered away
And my red rose is [A]turnin' [D]white
This is the [A]dreaded [D]hour
We all must [G]face some [D]day
Yet there's [G]consolation [D]in my heart
She will bloom in the [A]master's bouquet
[D]I've just told mam[A]a goo[D]dbye
Mother's day has [G]turned to [D]night
Like the [G]flowers in May,
she's [D]withered away
And my red rose is [A]turning [D]white
Her time has [A]come to [D]go
And there's nothing [G]I can d[D]o
Only [G]hold her hand and
[D]say good -bye
Mama's day with her [A]children is [D]through
I've just told [A]Mama good [D]-bye
As I knelt be[G]side her [D]bed,
but [G]I heard her say,
I'll [D]meet you some day
where the white roses
[A]turn to [D]red.
Thank you, Hank.
I haven't heard that song in many a day.
