[Intro]
D A7 D
A7
[Verse 1]
D D7 G D Papa bought flowers for Mama today E A7 And all the grown children, but it's not Mother's Day D D7 G D I don't have no money, not even a dime A7 D Still I brought Mama flowers like I have all the time
[Verse 2]
D D7 G D Every day, I'd pick flowers from this pretty hill E A7 A small bunch of daisies and a few daffodils D D7 G D I'd bring them to Mama at the end of the day A7 D And say, "Flowers for Mama, here's Mama's bouquet"
[Verse 3]
D D7 G D They'd brighten her face and she'd hold me close E A7 She'd say they were more precious than a beautiful rose D D7 G D And she wore a smile sweeter than billions of flowers A7 D A smile that I'll carry through life's darkest hours
[Verse 4]
D D7 G D Now, Mama was lying there, they tell me she passed away E A7 And she was surrounded by flowers that far outshine my bouquet D D7 G D I know mine aren't fancy, but still, all the while A7 D They were placed in her hand and I know I saw Mama smile
[Outro Verse]
G D Flowers for Mama, I picked them today E A7 Not very much, just a simple bouquet D D7 G D Mom wasn't so fancy, but up there above A7 D She's the prettiest flower in God's garden of love
