Mama Sold Roses

C                      F      C
Mama sold roses in the year '49
          C                        
They were made out of paper and 
        G
sold for a dime
    C                      F      
She carved out a living by walking
     C
 the streets
        C                          
Crying, who'll buy my roses with a 
G              C
voice soft and sweet

[Verse 2]
C                        F       
If love was a measure of diamonds
    C
 or gold
               C                  
No one could afford the roses she 
G
sold
      C                        
She'd shape the crepe paper and 
 F            C
softly she'd say
     C                  G         
Your mama is tired it's been a 
  C
long day

[Chorus]
       G                         F
You'll find her on the corner at 
          C
her flower stand
        F         C              
Painted on an old sign, roses by 
G
hand
        G                        F
They're only made of paper would 
         C
you be so kind
F               C         G     
Buy one for the lady they only 
      C
cost a dime

[Verse 3]
C                                 
Twenty-nine years have gone by 
   F           C
since mom passed away
          C                        
If you're looking for roses they're
             G
 there on display
        C                          
They're not made of paper and they 
F            C
don't cost a dime
     C                        G   
Each rose in the window has a two 
       G
dollar sign

[Chorus]
       G                         F
You'll find her on the corner at 
          C
her flower stand
        F         C              
Painted on an old sign, roses by 
G
hand
        G                        F
They're only made of paper would 
         C
you be so kind
F               C         G     
Buy one for the lady they only 
      C
cost a dime
