Verse 1
D 
A 
D 
 (D major) as  (A major) far as  (D major) I
can remember,
A 
D 
Cherry, Maine,  (A major) arose in my heart.  (D major) 
Mom took sick along in December,
A 
D 
February  (A major) brought us broken hearts  (D major) 
Bm 
D 
A 
The  (B minor) reason  (D major) we've not  (A major) 
D 
called  (D major) a family reunion,
A 
D 
we knew  (A major) she wouldn't be there  (D major) 
But since we've thought it all over,
Mama,
A 
D 
we know  (A major) her spirit is  (D major) there
G 
Oh,  (G major) no, I can't forget the hour
D 
You're the  (D major) only one, Mama,
G 
and sweeter  (G major) than the flowers
Oh, no, there's no need to bother
D 
To  (D major) speak of you now
G 
would  (G major) only hurt father
D 
Oh,  (D major) no, mama will never forget you
A 
D 
A 
D 
And someday  (A major) we'll meet you up  (D major) there  (A major)  (D major) 
It looked so good to see us together,
A 
D 
but  (A major) I  had to look after Dad.  (D major) 
Oh, Mama, when I passed by your coffin,
A 
D 
I did (A major) n't want to remember you dead.  (D major) 
We all gathered round,
I stared at their faces,
A 
D 
All  (A major) heads were bowed, mighty low.  (D major) 
Bm 
A 
D 
A 
 (B minor) But  (A major) that  (D major) was one time,  (A major) 
D 
A 
D 
we  (D major) all had to  (A major) face it,  (D major) 
A 
D 
Though it  (A major) hurt us so bad, you know.  (D major) 
G 
Oh,  (G major) no, I can't forget the hours
D 
You're the  (D major) only one, Mom,
G 
and sweeter  (G major) than the flowers
Oh, no, there's no need to bother
D 
To  (D major) speak of you now,
G 
what  (G major) only hurt father
D 
Oh,  (D major) no, mama will never forget you
A 
D 
And  (A major) someday we'll meet you up  (D major) there
Now I'm all alone and a
long way from home,
A 
D 
but my  (A major) memories still linger on.  (D major) 
How will I go on just trying to find out
A 
D 
just where  (A major) in this world I belong?  (D major) 
G 
Oh,  (G major) no, I can't forget the hour
D 
You're the  (D major) only one, Mom
G 
And sweeter  (G major) than the flower
Oh, no, there's no need to bother
D 
To  (D major) speak of you now
G 
would  (G major) only hurt father.
D 
 (D major) Oh, no, Mama will never forget you,
A 
D 
And  (A major) someday we'll meet you up there.  (D major)
