What A Memory

Capo 1st fret


G
On the day momma died she called 
daddy to her side
C                    D
And said I'll be goin' soon, I know 
it's gonna hurt you both
               C                 D
But promise me before I go you'll do
 what I ask of 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
                  G         C  D
I put away a little more for a rainy
 day
Em              C
Go to town and buy that new guitar
Em             C
Cause he's been workin' awful hard
G           C          D   C  D
To get his own, to write his songs?

 G     Em   C
Oh what a memory, oh what a memory
     Am               C
And even in her final moments momma 
thought of me
   G    C D C D
What a memory

-------------------- 


G
She was only thirty-five, I was 
fifteen askin' why
C               D
The lord took her away, he must've 
known we needed her
                  C               
She was an angel here on earth, I 
D
still miss her everyday

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
                    G         C  
I did my best to make her proud, as 
D
I stood up


Em               C
And I sang rock of ages clear from 
me
Em                C
As I played it on that new six 
string
       G            C        D   
I couldn't help but cry, as we 
C  D
said goodbye


(repeat chorus)

Am
Even in her final moments
 C
Momma thought of me
  G     C
What a memory
       G
What a memory


Not sure about the words in the last
 verse after 'rock of ages????

Please let me know if anyone knows 
what they are!
