[Intro]
C G C
 
 
[Verse 1]
C                     Bb C
I was standing by the bedside
C         G             C
Where my fevered mother lay
                         Bb     C
When she called me close beside her
           G                 C
And these words I heard her say
 
 
[Chorus]
C                          Bb  C
I've just seen the Rock of Ages
         G             C
Jacob's ladder hanged down
C                              Bb   C
I've just crossed the river of Jordan
       G                C
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]
