Chords for Daniel O'Donnell - Medals For Mothers

[F] _ _ _ [C] _ [G] Thank [F] you.
This time, ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to [C] do a song.
And before I do it, I'm going to tell you a little [F] story that will probably [C] share or maybe [Gm] explain part [F] of my childhood to you.
My [C] father died when I was just six years old and there was [F] five of us in our family.
My [C] eldest brother was just 19 at the time.
[Dm] And you know, when I look [C] back now, I realize that we didn't have [Bb] very much back then.
[F] But my mother provided [C] everything that we needed from the time that my father died.
[F]
And I know that I never [C] wanted very much, but [F] I'm as old as I am today and I can [C] definitely tell you that [Cm] because of [Gm] her, [F] I have never wanted for anything.
[C] And you know, that's [Bb] just one of the [F] many reasons why I say, if [C] there's medals for mothers, Mama, you'd won [F] every one.
_ [C] _ [Dm] [C] I [F] _ dreamed Mama, _ those heavenly stares
And medals _ for mothers [C] were given up [Dm] there
[C] [F] They mentioned the things _ Mom did for [C] me
[Dm] _ [C] Things I took for granted and [F] [C] never [F] could see
[C] _ [Gm] _ [C] If [F] there's _ medals _ [Bb] for _ _ mothers
[C] For all of the deeds [F] they have done
_ [C] _ If [F] there's _ _ medals _ [Bb] for _ mothers
_ [F] Mama, _ _
[C] you'd win [F] every one
[C] _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
[F] A _ _ [C] _ _ _ [F] medal of honor _ was pinned on her there
A medal for peace and [C] kind, loving [Dm] care
[C]
[F] A medal for duty she'd won all of [C] us
[Dm] But [C] the biggest _ of all was the one for [F] her love
_ [C] _ [Bb] [C] If [F] there's _ _ medals _ [Bb] for _ mothers
_ [C] For all of the deeds [Gm] they [F] have done
[C] _ [Gm] If [F] there's _ medals _ [Bb] for _ _ mothers
[F] Mama, _ _ [C] you'd win [F] every one
_ _ _ [C]
[F] Yes, Mama, [C] you'd win _ every _ [Bb] one
