_ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
She said, my daughter, I beg of you, I have a wish that must come true, the last thing
you can do, _ [C] _ [Bm] oh mama.
_ [E] _
_ _ [Bm] Please promise me [E] that you will stay, [Bm] and take my place while I'm away, [E] and give the
[A] children love each day.
[E] I had to cry, _ [A] what [Dm] could I _ _ [Am] [E] say?
_ [Am] _ [C]
She _ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] wouldn't see me cry, so much to say that should be heard, [B] but only [Am] time to say goodbye,
_ [B] _
_ _ _ [Am] [E] tomorrow. _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ [E] _ _ _ [Am] They say in time that you forget, yet still today my eyes are wet, I tell myself to smile, _
[Em] _ [Am] [Bm] oh [D] mama.
_ [E] _ _
[Bm] _ Now soon there'll be another [E] spring, [Bm] and I will start remembering, [E] the way she loved
[Bm] to hear me sing [E] her favorite _ song, _ [Am] Ave Maria.
_ _ [C] _ _ [Dm] _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ The _ [E]
children have _ all [Am] grown up now, _ [Dm] I've kept my _ [G]
promise to mama, _ [C] _ _
[G] I cannot [Dm] guide [E] them,
I've [A] _
[Am] _ _ _ _ [Em] done [Bm] my _
[E] best, oh [Am] for mama, _ _
[E] _ [C] _ [Dm] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ but _ [Em] _
_ _ [Am] still it [E] seems _ [Em] so very _ [Am] small, _ _ [Bm] for all.
_ [B] _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _
