The Mothers Day Song

C
Everyday you keep me safe, and
F                    C
warm, and loved, and fed,
C
But today's your special day,
   G             C
it was my turn instead.
   C
So I got up at 5 a.m.
       F                  C
I been working hard since then.
     C
Some things I didn't get quite right
     F             C
next year I'll try again.

C
Just for you I did my best
F             C
to cut my own hair
     C
Some places came out pretty good
    G                C
And some are kind of bare.
C
I washed all your nicest clothes,
        F              C
But the washer wasn't free,
C
So I used the dish washer
G               C
pretty smart of me.

[Chorus]
  F               G
Remember no one's perfect
C             Am
every kid has faults
  F               G
Remember it's the thought that counts
C              Am
More than the results.
   F                G
My heart was in the right place
     C               Am
even though I did it wrong
       F             G
It was all to say on mother's day
   F        G      C
my love for you is strong!

[Verse 2]
C
I vacuumed really quietly
  F              C
I didn't use the power
C
I cleaned your dirty iPad screen,
  G
I held it in the shower.
C
I painted all the cellings
       F             C
it was easy with the mop.
C
Now the carpets painted too
     G            C
With cool rainbow drops.

C
I answerd all your work emails
      F              C
with "just leave me alone."
C
And we gave the prince of
      G
Scandinavia a loan.
  C
I watered all the house plants
F               C
with the garden hose
C
I forgot to turn it off
    F                   C
sometimes that's how it goes


[Chorus]
  F               G
Remember no one's perfect
C             Am
every kid has faults
  F               G
Remember it's the thought that counts
C              Am
More than the results.
   F                G
My heart was in the right place
     C               Am
even though I did it wrong
       F             G
It was all to say on mother's day
   F        G      C
my love for you is strong!

[Verse 3]
C
Your cars shiny inside out
     F              C
with lot's of olive oil.
C
Who knew that oatmeal splatters up
   G
so high and far on boil.
  C
I tried to make you orange juice
      F                 C
but I spilled it on the floor.
C
I tried to fry you bacon
         G               C
We don't have a stove no more.

[Chorus]
  F               G
Remember no one's perfect
C             Am
every kid has faults
  F               G
Remember it's the thought that counts
C              Am
More than the results.
   F                G
My heart was in the right place
     C               Am
even though I did it wrong
       F             G
It was all to say on mother's day
   F        G      C
my love for you is strong!

[Verse 4]
C
Since you can't really cook this week
  F                C
I called the pizza place.
C
I emptied out the fridge and freezer
G
so there's enough space.
C
They should be here any time
  F           C
2 dozen pizza pies.
C
I paid with your credit card
  G                 C
I hope that you're surprized!

[Chorus]
  F               G
Remember no one's perfect
C             Am
every kid has faults
  F               G
Remember it's the thought that counts
C              Am
More than the results.
   F                G
My heart was in the right place
     C               Am
even though I did it wrong
       F             G
It was all to say on mother's day
   F        G      C
my love for you is strong!
