Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][D][G]

[Verse 1]
One day a [G]mother
Come to a prison
To see an 'er[D]ring
But precious [G]son
She told the warden
How much she loved him
It did not mat[D]ter
What he had done
[G]

[Verse 2]
She did not bring to him
(Bring to him)
Parole or pardon
(Pardon free)
She brought no [D]silver
(Brought no gold)
No pomp nor [G]style
(Him to see)
It was a halo
(Halo bright)
Sent down from [C]heaven
(Heaven's light)
The sweetest [G]gift
[D](A mother[G]'s smile)

[Verse 3]
Her boy had wandered
Far from the far side
Though she had [D]pleaded
With him each [G]night
But not a word did
She ever utter
That told her [D]heartaches
Her smile was bright
[G]

[Verse 4]
She did not bring to him
(Bring to him)
Parole or pardon
(Pardon free)
She brought no [D]silver
(Brought no gold)
No pomp nor [G]style
(Him to see)
It was a halo
(Halo bright)
Sent down from [C]heaven
(Heaven's light)
The sweetest [G]gift
[D](A mother's[G][D]
[G][C][G]
[D]smi[G]le)

[Verse 5]
She left [G]a smile
You can remember
She's gone to [D]heaven
From [G]heartache's free
Them bars around you
Will never change her
He was her [D]baby
An error will be
[G]

[Verse 6]
She did not bring to him
(Bring to him)
Parole or pardon
(Pardon free)
She brought no [D]silver
(Brought no gold)
No pomp nor [G]style
(Him to see)
It was a halo
(Halo bright)
Sent down from [C]heaven
(Heaven's light)
The sweetest [G]gift
[D](A mother's [G]smile)

[Verse 7]
It was a [G]halo bright
Sent [G]down from [C]heaven's light
The [C]sweetest [G]gift[G]
A [D]mother's [D]smile
[G]
