Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]The[Cm]re's[D][Cm]
[D]a
spot in [Cm]my heart
[Bm]which no [D]Colleen may own.
There's a depth in [G]my soul
nev[D]er sounded [E]or [Cm]known.[A]
[D]There's a place in my [Cm]memory,
my life, that you fill.
[D]No other [Cm]can take [D]it.
No one [E]ever will.
[A]Sure, [D]I l[Cm]ove the[D] dear silver[Cm]
that shines [D]in your [Cm]hair
an[D]d the b[Cm]row that's all f[D]urrowed
and wrinkled [E]with hair.[A]
[Cm]I kiss the dear fing[D]ers
[A]so [D]toil [Cm]-worn for me.
[G]Oh, God bless you
an[Cm]d keep you[D], Mo[G]ther,[D]
[Cm]free[D].[Cm][D][Cm]
[D]Every sorrow [Cm]or a care
in the dear [D]days gone by
Was made bright by the [G]light
of [D]the smile in [A]your eye
[D]Like a candle [Cm]that's set
in a window at night
[D]Your fond love has cheered me
and guided [A]me right.
[D]Sure, [A]I lov[D]e the dear sil[Cm]ver
that [D]shines in your [Cm]hair
[D]And the bro[G]w tha[Cm]t's all fur[D]rowed
and wrinkled with [A]care.
I [Cm]kiss [D]the dear fingers
so toil [G]-worn for [Cm]me.
[G]Oh, [Cm]God [D]bless you[G]
[Cm]an d k[G]eep yo[D]u, M[G]other, free.[D]
you
