(capo 2ª casa)

(intro) C G C

C                     Bb
I was standing by the bedside
C
Where my fevered mother laid
                         Bb     C
When she called me close beside her
           G                C
And these words I heard her say

(refrão)
C
I've just seen the Rock of Ages
         G             C
Jacob's ladder hanged down
C
I've just crossed the river of Jordan
       G                C
Now my son I'm homeward bound

C                         Bb
As we gathered all around her
C
The tears began to fill our eyes
                   Bb     C
Then she called me close beside

          G             C
Whispered softly her goodbyes

(refrão)
C                          Bb
High breeze blowing on the mountain
C
Where forever she will lay
                         Bb  C
There she'll rest beside the fountain

             G                 C
There she'll sleep beneath the clay
