Grolling fields of Cbluegrass on the Ghillside
Gcattle grazing Chigh up on a Gridge
Gthat old mountain G7preacher telling Cus about GHeaven
Gin that little country Cchurch house 'round the Gbend.
Glet me tell you that Gtime passes Cslow to a Gyoung man
Gbefore you know his Cmind will start to Gdream
Gand take him far G7away to the Clights of the Gcity
Gand the pleasures of Clife that he's never Gseen.
[Chorus]
Gand I wonder if GDaddy's still Cplowing in the Gmeadow
Gdoes the old farmhouse Cstill look the Gsame
Gdoes Momma still G7sing on the Cfront porch while she's Gworking
G"Rock of Ages, Rock of CAges, cleft for Gme"
Gyou know I can Gstill hear her Cvoice in my Gmemory
GI can see her on the Cback porch breaking Gbeans
GI still hear her G7call out my Cname by her Gbedside
GO Lord, won't you Ckeep him near to Gthee.
[Chorus]
Gand I wonder if GDaddy's still Cplowing in the Gmeadow
Gdoes the old farmhouse Cstill look the Gsame
Gdoes Momma still G7sing on the Cfront porch while she's Gworking
G"Rock of Ages, Rock of CAges, cleft for Gme"
