C Cadd9 C
F F13 FVerse 1:
      C
It's finally here that time of year
           F                         C Cadd9 C  C Cadd9 C
When your favorite flowers start to bloom
         C                   F                           G  G* G  G G* G
And the showers of April cascade into the sauna we call June
 F            G
Yesterday was my birthday
C                        F
The first one since you been gone
    C                       F  C
All my friends say it gets easier

        C                 G           C   Cadd9 C
All my friends have been known to be wrong


     F              G           C                F
You left in such a hurry
I had so much left to say
       C                            G
I was just passing by, thought I'd stop and say hi
            F       G
And that I miss you
C Cadd9 C  F F13 F  C Cadd9 C  F F13 F
Happy Mother's Day

♫ Verse 2:
     C                        F          C Cadd9 C  C Cadd9 C
The two of you said, "I do"
July 4 of '76
        C
It was all sunshine and rainbows
          F                            G G* G  G G* G
Till you threw a couple babies in the mix

   F        G              C               F
A shining example of what love could truly be
        C                                 G
Like a castle made of sand, watched that mountain of a man
        F                              C Cadd9 C
Fall apart when they laid to rest his queen


     F              G           C                F
You left in such a hurry
I had so much left to say
          C                       G
I'm just passing by, thought I'd stop and say hi
            F      G
And that I miss you
C Cadd9 C  C Cadd9 C
Happy Independence Day


♫ Break:
     Am                      F                    C Cadd9 C  C Cadd9 C
Last New Year's Eve was like no other New Year before
     Am
You never think you'll get that call
 F                                     G  G Am G
Till that call comes knocking at your door



     F              G           C                F
You left in such a hurry
I had so much left to say
       C                            G
I was just passing by, thought I'd stop and say hi
            F       G
And that I miss you
C Cadd9 C  F F13 F  C Cadd9 C  F F13 F  C
Happy New Year's Day
