Songtext

[Intro]
| G | - | - | - |

[Verse 1]
G
Delta Mama and a Nickajack Man
             Em
Raised their Cumberland daughter in a Tennessee band
D
Played Springwater at Station Inn
     C
Couldn't play fast, couldn't fit in
Em         G
  Caught a '66 Dodge in Caroline
Em
Got her education on her mama's dime
        D
She was singing in a bar called Comatose
    C                            Em
Halfway rusted on the salty coast

[Chorus]
         C          G
Rock of Ages, cleave for me
C          G      Em       G
Let me hide myself  in Thee
          C       Em
Buried in the sand
         C        G        D      G
Five hundred miles from Birmingham

[Verse 2]
G
Rockamount Cowboy in a rock and roll band
                                        Em
Plugged his amplifier in all across the land
D
Athens, Georgia on a Friday night
   C
Saw that little girl,
                 Em
she could sing alright
      G
Spent five years going from town to town
                                          Em
Waiting on that little girl to come around
D
Caught in the arms of New York City
       C                             Em
To lose that gal seemed a terrible pity

[Chorus]
         C          G
Rock of Ages, cleave for me
C           G      Em      G
Let my heart forget  a beat
          C      Em
Why do you demand
   C      G        D      G
Calling me from Birmingham

[Verse 3]
Em
Pulled her covered wagon off the BQE
                                             G
Said "This'll be the last you'll ever see of me.
"
            Em
Well the cowboy laughed said "I know it's not true
                                                   G
Cause there's nothing I could do to get loose from you.
"
Made a little money playing in the bars
                                          Em
With two beat up drums and two old guitars
         D
From the Crescent City to the Great Salt Lake
        C
It ain't what you got,
              Em
it's what you make

[Bridge]

| - Em - - | - D - - | - C - - | Em - - - |

[Verse 4]
         G
When the road got rough and the wheels all broke
Em
Couldn't take more then we could tow
       D
Making something out of nothing with a scratcher and our
hope
        C                                G
With two old guitars like a shovel and a rope

[Chorus]
         C          G
Rock of Ages, cleave for me
C          G      Em       G
Let me hide myself  in Thee
        C       Em
Now I understand
      C        G         D      G
On better terms since Birmingham
