Chord/Tab song: Mama's Face

My mama loved my[G] dad for fifty ye[D7]ars[G]

And she [C]worked along beside him in the [G]fields

[C]He never gave her much but [G]he gave her all he [C]had

[G]Dad's the only [D7]reason mama [G]lived

[G]My mama's face would [D7]light up like a [G]diamond

Each [C]time my daddy walked into the [G]room

[C]She'd stop what she was doing and [G]put her arms a[C]round him

[G]Dad's the only [D7]world my mama [G]knew

Mama never [D7]saw her roses [G]bloom that year

The [C]angels came before the robin's [G]song

[C]Mama said she didn't mind [G]going on ahead

But heaven won't be [D7]heaven till daddy?s [G]home

[G]When mama left she [D7]left dad a [G]lonely man

But he [C]talked to mama like she was still [G]here

[C]He'd talk about the hard times and the [G]good times that they'd [C]had

[G]As his old mind slipped [D7]back across the [G]years

Daddy never [D7]plowed his fields [G]again

He?d [C]just sat down and wait his time to [G]come

[C]Then one day he said I think I [G]hear a choir [C]singing

[G]He closed his eyes and [D7]went to live with [G]mom

[C]Lord I wanna thank you for the years they were here for me to [G]love

And [C]though it's hard to let 'em go Lord I know I'd let 'em go [G]again

If [D7]I could just have been there

And seen my mama's face when dad walked [G]in
