(ver. 1)
Judds
[Intro]
A E7 A
 
[Verse 1]
          A
One day a mother come to a prison
          E7                  A
To see an erring but precious son
A
She told the warden how much she loved him
           E7                 A
It did not matter what he had done
 
[Chorus]
            A
She did not bring (bring to him) parole or pardon (pardon plea)
               E7                                   A
She brought no silver (brought no gold) no pomp nor style (for him to see)
                                           D
It was a halo (halo bright) sent down from heaven (heaven's light)
             A       E7       A
The sweetest gift, a mother's smile
 
[Verse 2]
             A
Her boy had wandered far from the farside
                E7                    A
Though she had pleaded with him each night
A
But not a word did she ever utter
              E7                         A
That told her heart aches; her smile was bright
 
[Chorus]
            A
She did not bring (bring to him) parole or pardon (pardon plea)
               E7                                   A
She brought no silver (brought no gold) no pomp nor style (for him to see)
                                           D
It was a halo (halo bright) sent down from heaven (heaven's light)
             A       E7       A
The sweetest gift, a mother's smile
 
A E7 A D A E7 A
 
[Verse 3]

She left a smile you can remember
               E7
She's gone to heaven
                 A
From heartaches free
A
Them bars around you will never change her
           E7                 A
He was her baby and e'er will be

She brought no silver (brought no gold) no pomp nor style (for him to see)
                                           D
It was a halo (halo bright) sent down from heaven (heaven's light)
             A       E7       A
The sweetest gift, a mother's smile
