D A  D

[Verse 1]
D
almost every sunday we'd gather around the home place
      G                                 A
thats badly in need of my mommas loving hand
   D
us kids offer everything from easy chairs to money
        G                 A              D
but his pride want let us lend a helping hand

[Chorus]
D                      G           A
daddy's living off the memories of mama
D                         A
thats what keeps him goin everyday
D                                G              D
the only trips he ever takes are high upon that mountain
                  A               D
where mama lies a sleeping in the shade

[Verse 2]
D
from the porch i see a memory
he didnt have the heart to sale
    G
and thru the dust and all the rust
                     A
i can see some faded green
D
its that '47 pick up oh my mama loved so well
           G             A            D
when as we loaded up and followed our dreams

[Chorus]
D                      G           A
daddy's living off the memories of mama
