Chords for Leon Redbone- Mother Queen Of My Heart (1972 Early Recording)

[G] _ [C] Mmm, _ _ [G]
mmm, mmm, _ [C] mmm, mmm, mmm, [A] mmm.
[C] _ _ _
_ _ [Gm] [C] I [G] had a home out [C] in Texas, _ _ _ [F] down where the _ [C] bluebonnets grew. _
_ _ _ I _
[G] _ _ had the kindest [C] old [Eb] mother, [C] _ _
[D] how happy we were [G] just we two. _ _ _
_ _ [C] Yet one day [G] the _ [C] angels called her, said, Dad, we all have [Gm] to [F] _
fade.
_ _ She called me close to [C] her _ bedside, _ these last [G] few words to [Am] say. _
_ [C] _ _ Son, don't [G] start drinking [C] and gambling, [Eb] _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
[F] promise you'll always [C] go straight.
_ _ _ _ [F]
Ten years have passed since [C] that parting, _ _ [D] that promise I broke I [G] must say.
[Em] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] I started _ gambling for _ pastime, _ [Cm] soon I was just [Gm] [F] like them all. _
_ _ I bet my clothes [C] and my money, _ _ [G] not dreaming that I'd ever [C] fall.
[A] _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ One [G] night I bet all [C] my money, _
_ _ _ _ [F] nothing was left [C] to be seen. _
_ _ _ _ [F] All I needed [C] to break [Eb] then [C] _ _ [D] was the one card and that was [G] a queen.
[Em] _
[G] The _ _ [C] cards were [G] dealt all [C] around the table, _
[Eb] _ [C] _ _ each man took a card [D] on [F] the drum.
_ _ _ I drew the one that [C] would be thin, _ _ I turned it [G] and here's what I [C] saw.
[Am] _
[C] _ _ _ I saw my [G] _ [C] mother's picture, _
[A] _ [C] _ _ [F] somehow she _ seemed to [Am] [D] say.
[C] _
_ _ [F] Son, you have broken your [C] _ [D] promise, [C] _
_ [D] so I tossed the [G] cards _ away. _
_ _ _ _ [C] My winnings I [G] gave to [C] a _ newsboy, _ I knew I was wrong from [F] the start.
_ _ And I'll never forget [C] that _ [Eb]
[C] promise, to my mother [G] the queen of [C] my _ _ heart.
