Mama Liked The Roses       
Recorded by Elvis Presley
Written by Johnny Christopher
 
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

        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
Oh mama liked the roses  mm-mm-mm
