I've Just Seen The Rock Of Ages - Larry Sparks
[Verse]
D C D
I was standing by the bed- -side
A7 D
Where my feeble mother lay
C D
When she called me close be- -side her
A7 D
Here's the words I heard her say
[Chorus]
D C D
I've just seen the rock of a- -ges
A7 D
Jacob's ladder hanging down
C D
I've just crossed the river of Jor- -dan
A7 D
Now, my son, I'm homeward bound
[Instrumental]
D C D A7 D C D A7 D
[Verse]
D C D
As we gathered all a- -round her
A7 D
The tears be- -gan to fill our eyes
C D
Then she called me close be- -side her
A7 D
Whispered softly her good- -byes
D C D
Pine trees blowing on the moun- -tain
A7 D
Where for- -ever she will lay
C D
There she'll rest beside the foun- -tain
A7 D
There she'll sleep beneath the clay
[Instrumental]
