 What 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                       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…
 
 (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                     D
 She was an angel here on earth, I 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  D
 I did my best to make her proud, as 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   C  D
 I couldn’t help but cry, as we 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!
