What a Memory Tracy Lawrence
Capo 1st fret
[G]On the day momma died she called daddy to her side
[C]And said Iâ??ll be goinâ?? so[D]on, I know itâ??s gonna hurt you both
But promise me before I go [C]youâ??ll do what I ask o[D]f you
[G]In a big red folgers can hid behind the pots and pans
[C]Youâ??ll find some money that Iâ??ve saved
[D]And in the back of my dresser drawer
I put away a little more [G]for a rainy da[C]y[D]
[Em]Go to town and buy that [C]new guitar
[Em]Cause heâ??s been workin[C]â?? awful hard
[G]To get his own, [C]to write his son[D]gsâ?[C]¦[D]
(chorus)
Oh what a [G]memory, [Em]oh what a [C]memory
And even [Am]in her final moments mo[C]mma thought of me
What a [G]memory[C] [D] [C] [D]
[G]She was only thirty-five, I was fifteen askinâ?? why
[C]The lord took her away, [D]he mustâ??ve known we needed her
She was an angel here on earth, [C]I still miss her every[D]day
[G]With all her friends and half the town
And her family gathered round
[C]I bet she never felt so loved
[D]When everybodyâ??s heads were bowed
I did my best to make her proud, [G]as I stood up[C] [D]
[Em]And I sang rock of ages [C]clear from me
[Em]As I played it on that [C]new six string
I couldnâ??[G]t help but cry, a[C]s we said go[D]odby[C]e[D]
(repeat chorus)
[Am]Even in her final moments
Mo[C]mma thought of me
What a[G] memory[C]
What a memory[G]
