             D                  G                     D
    CHORUS: O God, be good to mother, wherever she may be.
            E7                              A             D
    Please grant her peace and comfort over there -and keep her-
           D                     G                            D
    Just the same sweet smiling angel that she always seemed to me,
          E7                  A           D
    In that old sunbonnet that she use to wear.


             D                              G              D
    There's a faded old sunbonnet on the peg behind the door.
                                          A
    It's the one my sainted mother use to wear,
            D                        G                   D       
    Till one day she hung it up and never took it down no more,
                             A               D
    And since that day it's still up hanging there.

                                    G             D
    God gave Sunbonnet Mother a special kind of love,   
                                    A
    Until the day he laid her burden down.
                 D                         G           D
    She would pull that old sunbonnet down low upon her face
                        A             D
    To hide from us the weary written there.
