Chords
Sweeter Than The Flowers
recorded by George Jones and Gene Pitney [3/4 time]
written by Ervin T. Rouse and Lois Mann
C
Just as far as I can remember
G7 C
She'll remain the rose of my heart
Mom took sick along in December
G7 C
February brought us broken hearts
The reason we've not called the family reunion
G7 C
We knew that she wouldn't be there
But since we've thought it all over mama
G7 C
We know that your spirit is there
F
No no I can't forget the hours
C
You're the onliest one mom
F
And sweeter than the flowers
No no there's no need to bother
C F
It's because you now would only hurt father
C
It looks so good to see us together
G7 C
But I had to look after dad
Oh mama when I passed by your coffin
G7 C
I didn't want to remember you dead
They all gathered round I stared at their faces
G7 C
All heads were bowed mighty low
But that was one time we all had to face it
G7 C
It hurt us so bad you know
Repeat #2
C
Oh no momma we'll never forget you
G7 C
