Rock of Ages

Chorus:
A
Round round
(D) (A)
Wanna go round
D
Wanna see the Rock of Ages
A (D) (A)
When my body gives out
E A
Gonna read the final pages

A (D) (A)
Oh my mother is gone
D
She told me I should meet her
A (D) (A)
Some day streets of gold
E
Gonna guide me on
A
To greet her

Once my father sat down
And told me of the prophets
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
They're gone but not forgotten

Round round
Wanna go round
Wanna see the Rock of Ages
Till my body gives out
Gonna read the gospel pages

Moses heard a voice
It called him up the mountain
Forty days had set
When Moses come a-shouting

Chorus

Round round
Wanna go round
Wanna see the Rock of Ages
Till my body gives out
Gonna read the gospel pages

When I go don't cry for me

In my fathers arms I'll be

The wounds this world left on my soul

Sun and moon will be replaced

With the light of Jesus' face

And I will not be ashamed

For my savior knows my name

It don't matter where you bury me

I'll be home and I'll be free

It don't matter where I lay

All my tears be washed away

Gold and silver blind the eye

Temporary riches lie

Come and eat from heaven's store

Come and drink and thirst no more

So weep not for me my friend

When my time below does end

For my life belongs to him

I heard Jeff Hames play this song first, and I thought to myself " Wow that sounds cool " So I learned it, messed with it a bit and this is what came out. So I would like to give special thanks to Jeff Hames for showing the world how this song can be done on dulcimer.

I would also like to thank all the people that have stuck with my videos through out these past couple months, you guys have been a big encouragement.
