Intro = chorus chords: D   G   Bm  A 
Verse 1:
    F#                 G           
The boy only wanted to give Mother something
    D                    A
And all of her roses had bloomed.
F#                   G
Looking at her as he came rushing in with them
D                      A
Knowing her roses were doomed,
E             F#            Bm/B   Bm/F#
All she could see were some thorns buried deep
        E               F#           Bm/B       A
And the tears that were cried as she tended his wounds

CHORUS: (she)
          D           G     Bm  A
And (she) knew it was love
       D               G     Bm   A 
It was one (she) could understand
       D           G    
He was showing his love,
    Bm            A        D     G  Bm  A 
And that's how he hurt his hands.

Verse 2: He still remembers that night as child On his mother's knee She held him close and she opened her bible And quietly started to read, And seeing a picture of Jesus he cried out, "Momma, he's got some scars just like me." CHORUS: (he) (solos over a verse and chorus) Verse 3: Now the boy's grown and moved out on his own When Uncle Sam comes along. A foreign affair, but our young men were there And luck had his number drawn. It wasn't that long till our hero was gone He gave to a friend what he learned from the cross. CHORUS: (they) tag: last 3 lines of chorus fade on chorus chords
