Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Verse 1

I was standing by the bedside

Where my fevered mother laid

When she called me close beside her

And these words I heard her say

Chorus

I've just seen the Rock of Ages

Jacob's ladder hanged down

I've just crossed the river of Jordan

Now my son I'm homeward bound

Verse 2

As we gathered all around her

The tears began to fill our eyes

Then she called me close beside

Whispered softly her goodbyes

(CHORUS)

Verse 3

High breeze blowing on the mountain

Where forever she will lay

There she'll rest beside the fountain

There she'll sleep beneath the clay

(CHORUS)
