Hank Williams - Ive Just Told Mama Goodbye Chords

[Intro]
| D | A7 | D | D |
 
[Verse 1]
D            A7       D
Each year on Mother's day
           G        D
The rose I wore was red
      G              D
But today I'm saying my first prayer
                A7        D
Mama's lying on her dying bed
 
[Chorus]
               A7       D
I've just told Mama goodbye
                 G         D
Mother's day has turned to night
         G                     D
Like the flowers in May, she's withered away
                   A7      D
And my red rose is turning white
 
[Verse 2]
            A       D
This is the dreaded hour
            G        D   D7
We all must face someday
            G           D
Yet there's consolation in my heart
                      A7          D
She will bloom in the Master's bouquet
 
[Chorus]
               A7       D
I've just told Mama goodbye
                 G         D
Mother's day has turned to night
         G                     D
Like the flowers in May, she's withered away
                   A       D
And my red rose is turning white
 
[Verse 4]
             A7      D
Her time has come to go
                    G     D
And there's nothing I can do
     G                 D
Only hold her hand and say goodbye
                    A7          D
Mama's day with her children is through
 
[Verse 5]
               A7       D
I've just told Mama goodbye
             G        D   D7
As I knelt beside her bed
      G                    D
But I heard her say: "I'll meet you someday"
                       A7   A      D
"Where the white roses turn to re-ed"
