Family Bible

	  		Verse 

C            F                      C 
There's a family Bible on the table 
     Am               D        G7 
Each page is torn and hard to read 
    C           F            C 
But the family Bible on the table 
     F          C      G      C 
Will ever be my key to memories. 
C             F                 C 
At the end of day when work was over 
    Am               D         G7 
And when the evening meal was done 
          C           F              C 
Dad would read to us from the family Bible 
         F              C         G7     C 
And we'd count our many blessings one by one. 

 
      F         Bb              F 
I can see us sittin' 'round the table 
                                     C 
When from the family Bible dad would read 
              F              C 
I can hear my mother softly singing 
              F       C     G7       C 
Rock of Ages, Rock of Ages cleft for me. 


Verse 
C                      F            C 
This old world of ours is full of troubles 
    Am                       D         G7 
But this old world would oh, so better be 
        C         F             C  
If we?d find more Bibles on the table 
            F               C     G7       C 
And mothers singing Rock of Ages cleft for me. 

 
      F         Bb              F 
I can see us sittin' 'round the table 
                                     C 
When from the family Bible dad would read 
              F              C 
I can hear my mother softly singing 
              F       C     G7       C 
Rock of Ages, Rock of Ages cleft for me.
