I hope you like it.

I've just told mama goodbye.
A 
D 
Each year on Mother's Day
G 
D 
The rose I wore was red
G 
But today I'm saying
D 
my first prayer
A 
D 
Mama's lying on her dyin' bed
A 
I've just told Mama goodbye
D 
A 
G 
D 
Mother's day has turned to
G 
Like the flowers in May,
D 
she's weathered away
A 
D 
And my red rose is turnin' white
A 
D 
This is the dreaded hour
G 
D 
We all must face some day
G 
D 
Yet there's consolation in my heart
A 
She will bloom in the master's bouquet
D 
A 
D 
I've just told mama goodbye
G 
D 
Mother's day has turned to night
G 
Like the flowers in May,
D 
she's withered away
A 
D 
And my red rose is turning white
A 
D 
Her time has come to go
G 
D 
And there's nothing I can do
G 
Only hold her hand and
D 
say good -bye
A 
D 
Mama's day with her children is through
A 
D 
I've just told Mama good -bye
G 
D 
As I knelt beside her bed,
G 
but I heard her say,
D 
I'll meet you some day
where the white roses
A 
D 
turn to red.
Thank you, Hank.
I haven't heard that song in many a day.
