Call Your Mother Chords & Lyrics - Johnny Cash

[C]When you get a chance would you please call your [F]mother

And [C]thank her for the good years that we [G7]had

[C]Gently break the news that you don't [F]love me

And [C]give my best [G7]regards to your good old [C]dad

I always liked your family [F]we got along just splendidly

Though [C]your brother kind of rubbed me the wrong [G7]way

I [C]remember that your eyes turned green

When [F]they crowned your sister County Queen

Though [C]she couldn't hold a candle to your [G7]beauty any [C]day


W[C]hen you get a chance would you please call your m[F]other

And [C]thank her for the good years that we [G7]had

[C]Gently break the news that you don't [F]love me

And [C]give my best [G7]regards to your good old [C]dad

Back when we could laugh and play [F]on family reunion day

[C]Didn't we all look funny in our 1950s [G7]clothes

Your [C]daddy wore that greasy stuff [F]your brother drank more than enough

Your [C]mom wore penny loafers with [G7]runners in her [C]hose

W[C]hen you get a chance would you please call your m[F]other

And [C]thank her for the good years that we [G7]had

[C]Gently break the news that you don't [F]love me

And [C]give my best [G7]regards to your good old [C]dad

[C]When you get a chance would you please call your [F]mother

And [C]give my best [G7]regards to your good old [C]dad
