Johnny Cash - Don't Step On Mother's Roses: chords

D#                     G#
We all were called to come back
       D#
To the old home on the farm
A#                     D#
Mother's passed away, what a mournful day
    D#           G#
And as my daddy watched
              D#
His eyes were filled with pain and hurt
      F7
When someone stepped upon a rose
     A#
And crushed it in the dirt

Chorus:
       D#               G#            D#
Don't step on Mother's roses, Daddy cried
      A#                              D#  D#7
She planted them the day she was my bride
    G#                          D#
And every time I see a rose, I see her smiling face
     F7
She made my darkest days look bright
  A#                 A#7
Around the old home place
       D#               G#              D#
Don't step on Mother's roses, let them grow
     A#                            D# D#7
The way they did since many years ago
            G#
They will bloom for me each year
    D#
And I will have Mother near
       F7               A#              D#
Don't step on Mother's roses, let them grow

Years have passed away
And how the old home place has changed
Daddy had to go, we all miss him so
Children pick the roses as they go along the way
But when their petals are abused, I hear my daddy say

Chorus
