Sweeter Than the Flowers Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[A][D][A][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Just as far as I can remember
She'll re[A]main the rose of my [D]heart
Mom took sick along in December
Febru[A]ary brought us broken [D]hearts

[Verse 2]
The [D]reason we've not
called the family reunion
We [A]knew that she wouldn't be [D]there
But since we've thought it all over, mama
We [A]know that your spirit is there
[D][G]

[Verse 3]
[G]No, no, I can't forget the hours
You're the [D]onliest one, mom
And [G]sweeter than the flowers
No, no, there's no need to bother
[D]To speak of [G]you [D]now would
[G]only hurt father

[Interlude 1]
[D][A][D]

[Verse 4]
[D]It looks so good to see us together
But [A]I had to look after d[D]ad
Oh mama, when I passed by your coffin
I [A]didn't want to remember you [D]dead

[Verse 5]
They [D]all gathered 'round,
I stared at their faces
All [A]heads were bowed mighty [D]low
But that was one time we all had to face it
It [A]hurt us so bad you [D]know

[Verse 6]
[G]No, no, I can't forget the hours
You're the [D]onliest one, mom
[G]And sweeter than the flowers
No, no, there's no need to bother
[D]To speak of you now [G]would only hurt father

[Verse 7]
[D]Oh, no, momma, we'll never forget you
And [A]someday we'll meet you up [D]there
