Skip chords and lyrics
Verse 1
(D major) (God put a (G major) song in the (F sharp major) heart of an (B minor) angel
and (E minor) softly she sang (A major) it to (D major) (B minor) (D major) me)
I get to thinkin' (A major) lotta times
(D major) about when I was a lad
Of the old home (G major) place where I grew up
(D major) of the days both good and bad
(B minor) My overall (E major) s were hand- me- downs
(A major) shoes full of holes
I used (B minor) to walk four (A major) miles to school (D major) every day
through the rain the sleet and the cold (G major)
I've seen the nights
when my daddy would cry
(D major) For the things that his
family would need (B minor)
(E minor) But all he ever got (A minor) was a badland (D major) farm
and seven hungry (G major) mouths to feed (D major)
And yet and somehow (B minor) our
homefire never (E minor) flickered once
(A major) Cause when all the (D major) things went wrong
Mama took the hymn book down
and mama sang (B minor) a song
(D major) (What a friend we have
(G major) in (D major) Jesus)
I've been rocked to sleep many a night
to the tune of What a Friend
(A major) Morning come Rock of Ages it
gently wake me once again
Then (D major) daddy'd reach up and take the
Bible down and he'd read it
Read (G major) it loud and strong
And I always felt that maybe
our (D major) home was blessed
When daddy'd say mama
sing a (A major) song (D major)
(E minor) Sister (D major) left home (G major) first I guess then
(D major) Bob (G major) and Tommy and Dan
By then dad's (C major) hair was turning grey
and I had to be mama's little man
But it (G major) seemed that when dad grew
weak (D major) mom's faith grew strong
An (G major) d I think those were the greatest days
of all when mama sang a song
(Rock of ages (C major) cleft for (G major) me let (C major) me (G major) hide
(D major) myself (G major) in (D major) (E minor)
(D major) Thee)
I guess the old house is still standin' I don't
go back much anymore (G major)
No voice is left to fill those halls
no (D major) steps to (E minor) grace the floor
(D major) For you see mama sings in heaven
now (G major) (G minor) round God's golden (G major) throne
But I'll always (G minor) believe (G major) that this old
world is a whole lot better place
Be (C major) cause one time (G major) my mama sang a song (G major) (E minor)
(A minor) (precious mem'ries (D major) flood my soul)
(C major) (G major) (A minor) (G major)
