[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

[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
