A Mother Like You Uke tab by JJ Heller

G, Em, C, D (2X)


G          Em                   C   D 
You gave me a drawer in your kitchen
G          Em                    C   D
You gave me the room with a view of the yard
C          D             G             Em
Whatever the hurt, you knew right where to kiss it
C                          D    D7
You gave me the best of your heart

G          Em                   C   D 
And you carried my rocks in your pocket
G          Em                    C   D
Flowers and feathers and butterfly wings
C          D             G             Em
You had an answer for all of my questions
C                          D    D7
You showed me wonderful things

C    D          G           Em
I know that it hasn't been easy
C    D          G           Em
I hope that I love like you do
C          D         Em           G
'Cause I know that this world would be better
C                      D        G   Em   C     D
If everyone had a mother like you


G          Em                 C   D 
You make the best macaroni
G          Em                    C   D
We never cared that it came from a box
C          D             G             Em
The mom in the stands always clapping her hands
C                          D    D7
Started cheering and still haven't stopped

G          Em                 C   D 
And you held me when I came home crying
G          Em                    C   D
'Cause someone said something that just wasn't true
C          D             G             Em
I always said that Janelle was my best friend
C                        D    D7
But really it's always been you


C     D        G            Em
I know that I haven't been easy
C     D        G            Em
I hope that I love like you do
C        D             Em           G
'Cause I know that this world would be better
C                    D           G   Em  C  D
If everyone had a mother like you


(G, Em, C, D, C, D, Em, G, C, D, D7)


G             Em        C        D
Our second was born in September
G          Em              C            D
I still can't believe I have kids of my own
C               D         G          Em
I look in their eyes and I can't help but wonder
C                                   D   D7
Who will they be when they're grown?


C      D        G         Em
I know it won't always be easy
C      D        G         Em
I hope that I love like you do
C      D             Em         G
'Cause I know that my kids will be better
C               D           Em       G
If they have a mother like you
C         D              Em      G
If I am a mother like you
C               D                G
'Cause I had a mother like you
