Whats A Memory

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       
But promise me before I go you?ll 
                D
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         
I put away a little more for a 
    C  D
rainy day
Em                      C
Go to town and buy that new guitar
Em                      C
Cause he?s been workin? awful hard
G               C               
To get his own, to write his 
D   C  D
songs?

(chorus)

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


Em                       C
And I sang rock of ages, cleft for 
me
Em                     C
As I played it on that new six 
string
           G                C     
I couldn?t help but cry, as we 
      D   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
