Flowers For Mama Chords & Lyrics - George Jones

[INTRO]
[E] [B] [E]

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

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

[VERSE 2]
[E]They'd brighten her face and she'd[A] hold me[E] close
she'd say they were more precious than a[B] beautiful rose
[E]and she wore a smile sweeter than[A] millions of[E] flowers
a smile that I'll carry through life'[B]s darkes[E]t hour

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

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