Chords for Merle Haggard, Family Bible.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Now this song was written by a songwriter who I admire very much
He's one of the boys in our business
And I believe that like many of the [G] old great hymns that people two or three hundred years from now will be singing
the family [Bb] Bible
[D] _ _ [C] _ _ [F] _ _ _ [C] _
_ [G] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ There's a _ family
_ [F]
Bible _ [C] on the table _ _
_ [Em] Its [Am] _ pages are [D]
torn and
[G] Hard to read _
_ [Bm] But [C] the family _
[F] Bible _ [C] on the table _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] Will ever be [C] my key [G] to [C] memory _ _ _
[F] At [C] _ the end [F] of day
when work [C] was over _ and _ _ [Am] when
The evening [D]
chores were [G] finally done _
That _ [C] would read to [F] us from the [C] family Bible _ _
And [C] [F] we'd count our [C] many [G] blessings [C] one by one _ _
_ [E] I can [F] see
[Bb] Us sitting around [F] the table _ _
_ _ When from the family Bible dad [C] would _ read _
_ And I can hear [F] my mother softly [C] _ singing _ _
_ Rock of ages, [F] _ [C] rock of ages [G] left [C] for me
[F] _ _ [C]
This _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ [C] _
_ [G] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ old world of [F]
ours is full of [C] trouble
This _
_ [Em] [Am] old _ world would [D] oh so better [G] be _ _
If we [C] _ had more [F] Bibles on [C] the table
And _ _ mothers singing [F] rock [C] of [G] ages left [C] for me _
I _ [F] can see _ [Bb] us sitting around [F] the table _
When _ _ from the family Bible _ _ [C] dad would read _ _ _
I can hear [F] my mother _ [C] softly _ singing _ _
Rock of [F] ages, [C] rock of ages [Em] left [C] for [F] me
_ [C] _
Rock of ages, [F] _ [C] rock of ages [G] left [C] for me _ _ _
