Rock Of Ages

[G]It rained all the way to cincin [D] ati
with our[C] matresses on top of the[G] car
[G]Us kids we're eating[D] crackers and[Em] bologna
Papa[G] kept on driving, never[D] stopped once at a[G] bar

[G]Then mama started talking about[D] Jesus
[D]and how our lives we're gonn[Em]a be
while[G] papa bought a used tire in Colu[D]mbus
[C]Mama rocked the baby,[D] 'til all her tears were[G] gone

(Chorus)

[G]She said your [D]papa is a good man,[C] and don't you kids forget it
[G]Whiskey's trying to ruin him[D] but I know the L-ord won'- t[C] let it.

[G]Then we sang Amazing Grace and[D] Bringing In The Sheep
Rock Of[C] Ages        [C]Ro - ck  O-f[G] Ages [D] left fo[G]r Me

(Talk to G chord)

I remember when papa finally did give up drinking. I think mama was the only one on
that really believed he could.

I remember a lot of times we packed up everything we owned and started out for some new
And through it all mama's faith was the one thing strong enough to finally do some good.

(Chorus) end.
