Hank Williams – A Message To My Mother (Guitar)

C                                   G7
The struggle for life would soon be over

                             C
A young man on his death bed lay

                            G7
He raised his head in dying anger

                             C
And this is what I heard him say

F                       C       
Take this message to my mother

                            G7    
It will fill her heart with joy

C                         G7       
Tell her that I've met my Savior

                            C    
God has saved her wandering boy

                            G7           
The tears and sorrow I have caused her

                     C    
How I wish I could repay

                             G7         
But tell her I'll be waiting for her

                               C    
We'll meet in heaven some glad day 

                          G7
How she cried when I left her

                                C
I know it filled her heart with pain

C                         G7
She said son please don't leave me

                      C 
For we may never meet again

                             G7   
Years have passed since that parting

                         C
But I know she waits and prays

                          G7
Soon I'll cross that dark river

                               C
Please let her know that I was saved
