[Intro]
D A7 D
A7
[Verse 1]
D D7 G D
Papa bought flowers for Mama today
E A7
And all the grown children, but it's not Mother's Day
D D7 G D
I don't have no money, not even a dime
A7 D
Still I brought Mama flowers like I have all the time
[Verse 2]
D D7 G D
Every day, I'd pick flowers from this pretty hill
E A7
A small bunch of daisies and a few daffodils
D D7 G D
I'd bring them to Mama at the end of the day
A7 D
And say, "Flowers for Mama, here's Mama's bouquet"
[Verse 3]
D D7 G D
They'd brighten her face and she'd hold me close
E A7
She'd say they were more precious than a beautiful rose
D D7 G D
And she wore a smile sweeter than billions of flowers
A7 D
A smile that I'll carry through life's darkest hours
[Verse 4]
D D7 G D
Now, Mama was lying there, they tell me she passed away
E A7
And she was surrounded by flowers that far outshine my bouquet
D D7 G D
I know mine aren't fancy, but still, all the while
A7 D
They were placed in her hand and I know I saw Mama smile
[Outro Verse]
G D
Flowers for Mama, I picked them today
