[Verse 1]
A D A
There's a family Bible on the table
F#m B7 E7
Each page is worn and hard to read
A D A
But the family Bible on the table
D A E A
Will ever be my key to memories
[Verse 2]
A D A
At the end of day when work was over
F#m B7 E7
And when the evening meal was done
A D A
Dad would read to us from the family Bible
D A E7 A
And we'd count our many blessings one by one
[Chorus]
D G D
I can see us sittin' 'round the table
D A
When from the family Bible dad would read
A D A
And I can hear my mother softly singing
A D A E7 A
Rock of Ages, Rock of Ages cleft for me
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
A D A
Now this old world of ours is filled with trouble
F#m B7 E7
But this old world would oh, so better be
A D A
If we'd find more family Bibles on the table
A D A E7 A
And mothers singing Rock of Ages cleft for me
[Chorus]
D G D
And I can see us sittin' 'round the table
D A
When from the family Bible dad would read
A D A
And I can hear my mother softly singing
A D A E7 A
Rock of Ages, Rock of Ages cleft for me
A D A E7 A
Rock of Ages, Rock of Ages cleft for me
D A
(For me)
