Artist: Willie Nelson
[G]There's a family [C]Bible on the [G]table
[Em]Its pages torn and [A7]hard to [D7]read
But the [G]family [C]Bible on the [G]table
Will [C]ever be my [G]key to [D7]memo-[G]ries
At the end of [C]day when work was [G]over
A[Em]nd when the evening [A7]meal was [D7]done
Dad would [G]read to [C]us from the family [G]Bible
And we'd [C]count our many [G]blessings [D7]one by [G]one
I [C]can see us [F]sitting round the [C]table
When from the family Bible dad would [G]read
And I can hear my [C]mother softly [G]singing
Rock of ages [C]rock of [G]ages [D7]cleft for [G]me
This old world of [C]ours is full of [G]trouble
[Em]But this old world would[A7] also better[D7] be
If we'd [G]find more [C]Bibles on the [G]tables
And mothers singing [C]rock of [G]ages [D7]cleft for [G]me
I [C]can see us [F]sitting round the [C]table
When from the family Bible dad would [G]read
And I can hear my [C]mother softly [G]singing
Rock of ages [C]rock of [G]ages [D7]cleft for [G]me
[Em]Its pages torn and [A7]hard to [D7]read
But the [G]family [C]Bible on the [G]table
Will [C]ever be my [G]key to [D7]memo-[G]ries
At the end of [C]day when work was [G]over
A[Em]nd when the evening [A7]meal was [D7]done
Dad would [G]read to [C]us from the family [G]Bible
And we'd [C]count our many [G]blessings [D7]one by [G]one
I [C]can see us [F]sitting round the [C]table
When from the family Bible dad would [G]read
And I can hear my [C]mother softly [G]singing
Rock of ages [C]rock of [G]ages [D7]cleft for [G]me
This old world of [C]ours is full of [G]trouble
[Em]But this old world would[A7] also better[D7] be
If we'd [G]find more [C]Bibles on the [G]tables
And mothers singing [C]rock of [G]ages [D7]cleft for [G]me

Rock of ages [C]rock of [G]ages [D7]cleft for [G]me
