Flowers For Mama

Biography:

By most accounts, George Jones (born George Glenn Jones September 12, 1931 in Saratoga, Texas, died April 26, 2013, in Nashville, Tennessee), was the finest vocalist in the recorded history of country music. Initially, he was a hardcore honky tonker in the tradition of Hank Williams, but over the course of his career he developed an affecting, nuanced ballad style. In the course of his career, he never left the top of the country charts, even as he suffered innumerable personal and professional difficulties.

[Intro]
E B E

E A E
Papa brought flowers for Mama today
B
and all the grow children, but it's not Mothers Day
E A E
I don't heve no money, not even a dime
B E
but I brought Mama flowers like I have all the time

[Verse]
E A E
Every day I'd pick flowers from this pretty hill
B
a small box of daisy's and a few daffodils
E A E
I'd bring them to Mama at the end of the day
B E
and say flowers for Mama, here's Mama's bouquet

[VERSE 2]
E A E
They'd brighten her face and she'd hold me close
B
she'd say they were more precious than a beautiful rose
E A E
and she wore a smile sweeter than millions of flowers
B E
a smile that I'll carry through life's darkest hour

[SPOKEN VERSE]
E A E
Now Mama was lying there, yes they tell me she'd passed away
B
and she was surrounded by flowers that outshined my bouquet
E A E
I know mine aren't fancy, but still all the while
B E
they were placed in her hand and I know I saw Mama smile

[Outro]
E A E
Flowers for Mama, I picked them today
B
not very much, just a simple bouquet
E A E
Mom Wasn't so fancy, but up there above
B E
she's the prettiest flower in God's garden of love
