What A Memory Chords & Lyrics - Tracy Lawrence

Capo 1

[VERSE]
[G]On the day momma died she called daddy to her side
[C]And said I?ll be goin? soon, [D]I know it?s gonna hurt you both
But promise me before I go [C]you?ll do what I ask of [D]you
[G]In a big red folgers can hid behind the pots and pans
[C]You?ll find some money that I?ve saved
[D]And in the back of my dresser drawer
I put away a little more [G]for a rainy da[C]y [D]
[Em]Go to town and buy that [C]new guitar
[Em]Cause he?s been workin? [C]awful hard
[G]To get his own, [C]to write his son[D]gs? [C] [D]

[CHORUS]
Oh what a [G]memory, [Em]oh what a [C]memory
And even [Am]in her final moments mo[C]mma thought of me
What a [G]memory [C] [D] [C] [D]

[VERSE]
[G]She was only thirty-five, I was fifteen askin? why
[C]The lord took her away, [D]he must?ve known we needed her
She was an angel here on earth, [C]I still miss her every[D]day
[G]With all her friends and half the town

And her family gathered round
[C]I bet she never felt so loved
[D]When everybody?s heads were bowed
I did my best to make her proud, [G]as I stood up[C] [D]
[Em]And I sang rock of ages [C]clear from me
[Em]As I played it on that [C]new six string
I couldn?t [G]help but cry, as [C]we said good[D]bye [C] [D]

[CHORUS]
Oh what a [G]memory, [Em]oh what a [C]memory
And even [Am]in her final moments mo[C]mma thought of me
What a [G]memory [C] [D] [C] [D]

[OUTRO]
[Am]Even in her final moments
Mo[C]mma thought of me
What a[G] memory [C]
What a memory[G]
