Date: 14 Feb 02 Song: What A Memory Artist: Tracy Lawrence Transposed by: Eddie Garcia ([email protected]) Capo 1st fret What A Memory
G On the day momma died she called daddy to her side CD And said I?ll be goin? soon, I know it?s gonna hurt you both CD 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 GCD I put away a little more for a rainy day EmC Go to town and buy that new guitar EmC Cause he?s been workin? awful hard GCDCD To get his own, to write his songs?
[Chorus] GEmC Oh what a memory, oh what a memory AmC And even in her final moments momma thought of me GCDCD What a memory
G She was only thirty-five, I was fifteen askin? why CD The lord took her away, he must?ve known we needed her CD 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 GCD I did my best to make her proud, as I stood up
EmC And I sang rock of ages, cleft for me EmC As I played it on that new six string GCDCD I couldn?t help but cry, as we said goodbye
(repeat chorus) Am Even in her final moments C Momma thought of me GC What a memory G What a memory
