Mama Liked The Roses chords by Elvis Presley

Verse:
C         Dm   G7          C   A7
Oh mama liked the roses she grew them in the yard
         Dm      E7      A7
But winter always came around and made the growing way too hard
         Dm   G7          C   A7
Oh mama liked the roses and when she had the time
        Dm        E7         A7
She'd decorate the living room for all us kids to see

        D7      G7       D7    G7
When I hear the Sunday bells ringing in the morning
      E7   A7        D7  G7
I remember crying when she used to sing
         Dm   G7         C   A7
Oh mama liked the roses but most of all she cared
         Dm        E7         A7
About the way we learned to live and if we said our prayers

Spoken:
Dm    G7
You know I kept the family bible
C             A7
With a rose that she saved inside
Dm             E7
It was pressed between the pages
   A7
Like it had found a place to hide

Verse:
    Dm        G7        C  A7
Oh mama liked the roses in such a special way
          Dm      E7      A7
We bring them every mother's day and put them on her grave
         Dm   G7  C  A7
Oh mama liked the roses mm-mm-mm
        Dm   G7  C  A7
Mama liked the roses mm-mm-mm
         Dm   G7  C
