G
Nah nah nah nah...
[Verse 1]
C G
At mama's funeral, organs didn't play
C G
But you could hear the lonesome sway
D
Of the local guitar man
C G
He played Hank Williams songs
C G
We all did 'Farther Along'
D
The boys drank beer out by the barn
C G
At mama's funeral
[Verse 2]
G
Oh the birds showed up to sing
G
As we gathered round the ole porch swing
C
Where her feet had worn the paint off the boards
G
And her pillow sat all faded and torn
G
Her children all took turns
G
Trying to find the words
C
Just wantin to say something right
G
Bout the best friend they'd found in life
D
And explain it to the nurses that came from the hospital
C G
To mama's funeral
[Chorus]
C G
It was surprising to me, thought it'd be as hard as it could be
D
But everybody took a little piece of pain
C
And they spread it round like summer rain
G
And it helped to ease the load
D
More than I could've known
C G
At mama's funeral
C G C G D
[Verse 3]
G
And my family made me proud
G
Cause when the cryin got loud
C
The laughter followed close behind
G
Daddy'd say "now don't y'all remember the time..."
G
Tables set up all over the place
