Mama Liked The Roses chords by Elvis Presley

Chords with lyrics

Verse:
C majorC         DmDm   G7G7          C majorC   A7A7
Oh mama liked the roses she grew them in the yard
         DmDm      E7E7      A7A7
But winter always came around and made the growing way too hard
         DmDm   G7G7          C majorC   A7A7
Oh mama liked the roses and when she had the time
        DmDm        E7E7         A7A7
She'd decorate the living room for all us kids to see

        D7D7      G7G7       D7D7    G7G7
When I hear the Sunday bells ringing in the morning
      E7E7   A7A7        D7D7  G7G7
I remember crying when she used to sing
         DmDm   G7G7         C majorC   A7A7
Oh mama liked the roses but most of all she cared
         DmDm        E7E7         A7A7
About the way we learned to live and if we said our prayers

Spoken:
DmDm    G7G7
You know I kept the family bible
C majorC             A7A7
With a rose that she saved inside
DmDm             E7E7
It was pressed between the pages
   A7A7
Like it had found a place to hide

Verse:
    DmDm        G7G7        C majorC  A7A7
Oh mama liked the roses in such a special way
          DmDm      E7E7      A7A7
We bring them every mother's day and put them on her grave
         DmDm   G7G7  C majorC  A7A7
Oh mama liked the roses mm-mm-mm
        DmDm   G7G7  C majorC  A7A7
Mama liked the roses mm-mm-mm
         DmDm   G7G7  C majorC
