Intro: A augmentedA  E7E7  A augmentedA

     E7E7        A augmentedA       D MajorD  A augmentedA  E7E7 A augmentedA
There are friends who will want you, but just for a day,
E7E7    D MajorD     A augmentedA  E7E7  A augmentedA      D MajorD  A augmentedA  A7A7
There are pals you think true, but they’ll cast you away.
      A augmentedA     D MajorD       B minorBm    A augmentedA
But there’s one loving soul boy, I'd sure recommend,
              A augmentedA  F# minorF#m      E7E7     A augmentedA
Through this whole world of sor-row, she'll be true to the end.

E7E7  F# minorF#m      A augmentedA       F# minorF#m D MajorD    E7E7
Moth-er, though her hands are all wrin-kled and old,
D MajorD  B minorBm     D MajorD       F# minorF#m     A augmentedA
Moth-er, silver hair that has lost all the gold.
   A augmentedA           D MajorD
You left her alone, went to roam through the years,
  B minorBm             E7E7  A augmentedA
But all that you left her, were heartaches and tears.
               D MajorD     F# minorF#m
So kiss her old brow, whisper softly and true,
E7E7    DmDm            E7E7 B minorBm  A augmentedA
Moth-er, you're just an angel, and I, love, you.


(Original Spoken) or Sing.
    E7E7    A augmentedA     D MajorD   A augmentedA  E7E7 A augmentedA
On the door of a cottage, a wreath sad-ly hung,
E7E7  D MajorD       A augmentedA    E7E7      A augmentedA   D MajorD  A augmentedA A7A7
And a hearse stood there waiting, as the choir softly sung.
      A augmentedA        D MajorD          B minorBm    A augmentedA
There were flowers in their beauty, and the old parson he prayed,
         A augmentedA  F# minorF#m     E7E7      A augmentedA
This was the last tribute, as they left for her grave.


     E7E7     A augmentedA        D MajorD  A augmentedA   E7E7   A augmentedA
She won't meet you tonight son, when you crave her caress,
E7E7   D MajorD       A augmentedA  E7E7      A augmentedA   D MajorD  A augmentedA   A7A7
She has raised you to manhood and, now you've laid her to rest.
   A augmentedA        D MajorD          B minorBm    A augmentedA
Those flowers in their beauty, ahhh, to her they're unknown.
               A augmentedA F# minorF#m   E7E7        A augmentedA
Cause tonight she's with the angels, up around Gods' great throne.


     E7E7    A augmentedA      D MajorD  A augmentedA  E7E7 A augmentedA
So don't wait that late son, to try and re-pay,
E7E7     D MajorD      A augmentedA     E7E7 A augmentedA     D MajorD  A augmentedA    A7A7
Give those flowers and give those treasures, and give them today.
       A augmentedA    D MajorD         B minorBm      A augmentedA
Let her know that you love her and, show her that you care.
         A augmentedA      F# minorF#m        E7E7    A augmentedA
Cause she's your mother, God love her, she's as true as a prayer.


(Sing)
  A augmentedA             D MajorD
So kiss her old brow, whisper softly and true;
E7E7    DmDm            E7E7  B minorBm   A augmentedA
Moth-er, you're just an angel, and I,  love,  you.
