MEMORIES
GEORGE JONES
[Intro]
D A D
[Verse 1]
D
almost every sunday we'd gather around the home place
G A
thats badly in need of my mommas loving hand
D
us kids offer everything from easy chairs to money
G A D
but his pride want let us lend a helping hand
[Chorus]
D G A
daddy's living off the memories of mama
D A
thats what keeps him goin everyday
D G D
the only trips he ever takes are high upon that mountain
A D
where mama lies a sleeping in the shade
[Verse 2]
D
from the porch i see a memory
he didnt have the heart to sale
G
and thru the dust and all the rust
A
i can see some faded green
D
its that '47 pick up oh my mama loved so well
G A D
when as we loaded up and followed our dreams
[Chorus]
D G A
daddy's living off the memories of mama
