VERSE 1:
 
    B                   C 
The boy only wanted to give Mother something

And all of her roses had bloomed. 
B                     C 
Looking at her as he came rushing in with them 
G                        D 
Knowing her roses were doomed, 
Am            B               Em 
All she could see were some thorns buried deep
