FAMILY BIBLE


KEY: C

                  F              C
There’s a family bible on the table
      Am       D               G
Each page is worn and hard to read
          C     F              C
But the family bible on the table
       F         C     G    C
Will ever be my key to memory.


               F                 C
At the end of day when work was over
     Am          D             G
And when the evening meal was done
            C          F              C
Dad would read to us from the family bible
            F               C     G       C     C7
And we’d count our many blessings one by one.


       F        Bb               F
I can see us sitting ‘round the table
                                       C
When from the family bible dad would read
                 F              C
I can hear my mother softly singing
                F       C    G       C
Rock of ages, rock of ages cleft for me.


                    G                D
This old world of ours is full of trouble
           Bm         E          A
But this world would also better be
        D           G           D
If we found more bibles on the table
                 G           D     A       D
And mothers singing rock of ages cleft for me


CHORUS X2

          G      C                G
I can see us sitting ‘round the table
                                       D
When from the family bible dad would read
                G               D
I can hear my mother softly singing
                G       D     A      D
Rock of ages, rock of ages cleft for me.

                G       D    A       D
Rock of ages, rock of ages cleft for me.
