C                         F                      C 
My little girl and I lost mamma just three years ago 

    F               C     D7                            G7 
And now that she is older there are things she wants to know 

    C                         F                      C 
She said please daddy tell me bout my mother cause I miss her 

  F                C         G7                      C 
I said get pen and paper and I'll help your draw her picture 

  
  F                              C 
I said first draw a heart so big there's room for little else 

     F                              C               G7 
Then write a million for the things that she denied herself 

C                             F                 C 
Draw a rose the kind of which there'll never be another 

    F                   C           G7              C 
And when you finish you will have a picture of your mother 

  
C                               F            C 
If you want to make the picture even more complete 

F                C               D7               G7 
You could draw a little cottage  draw it nice and neat 

C                            F             C 
Draw a bright and shining sun up in the sky above 

    F            C                 G7              C 
But then again I guess it's pretty hard to draw my love 

  
   F                           C 
So draw a heart so big there's room for little else 

     F                              C               G7 
Then write a million for the things that she denied herself 

C                             F                 C 
Draw a rose the kind of which there'll never be another 

    F                   C           G7              C 
And when you finish you will have a picture of your mother
