Chords

[Verse 1]
D                     G
We all were called to come back

       D
To the old home on the farm

A                     D
Mother's passed away, what a mournful day

    D           G
And as my daddy watched

              D
His eyes were filled with pain and hurt

     E7
When someone stepped upon a rose

    A
And crushed it in the dirt
[Chorus]
       D               G            D
Don't step on Mother's roses, Daddy cried

    A                               D  D7
She planted them the day she was my bride

    G                          D
And every time I see a rose, I see her smiling face

    E7
She made my darkest days look bright

 A                  A7
Around the old home place

      D                G               D
Don't step on Mother's roses, let them grow

    A                              D  D7
The way they did since many years ago

     G
They will bloom for me each year

    D
And I will have Mother near

      E7               A               D
Don't step on Mother's roses, let them grow
[Verse 2]
D                  G
Years have passed away

            D
And how the old home place has changed

A                   D
Daddy had to go, we all miss him so

A                 G             D
Children pick the roses as they go along the way

    E7                             A             A7
But when their petals are abused I hear my daddy say
[Chorus]
       D               G            D
Don't step on Mother's roses, Daddy cried

    A                               D  D7
She planted them the day she was my bride

    G                          D
And every time I see a rose, I see her smiling face

    E7
She made my darkest days look bright

 A                  A7
Around the old home place

      D                G               D
Don't step on Mother's roses, let them grow

    A                              D  D7
The way they did since many years ago

     G
They will bloom for me each year

    D
And I will have Mother near

      E7               A               D  G  D
Don't step on Mother's roses, let them grow
