Rock N Roll To Rock Of Ages Cifras

[Intro]
B
 
 
[Verse 1]
      B                           E
I was born to a Christian country home
                           B
And the first songs that I sang
         B
Were the songs of praise and glory
   F#7                                  B
On Sunday morning when the church bells rang
 
  B
I sang them first in Sunday School
E                           B
  Later on I sang up in the choir
  B
Until one Sunday morning almost without warning
               F#7         B
I realize that wasn’t my desire
 
 
[Chorus]
           E
And that’s when I went from singing Rock of Ages
                    B
To singing rock and roll
       F#7
And my momma fell down on her knees
                                       B
And prayed to God to have mercy on his soul
 
        E
And the elders and the deacons
                                           B
Tried to get the black sheep back into the fold
                               E       B
On the day I went from singing Rock of Ages
   F#               B
To singing rock and roll
 
 
[Verse 2]
  B
I formed a little band
         E                            B
And we began to travel all around the world
    B
Our nights were filled with music
    F#7                             B
And screaming propositions from the girls
 
  B
I started rolling cigarettes
E                                 B
Drinking beer and loving warm red wine
   B
My momma wrote me letters. I tied them all together
                         F#7               B
And I said I’ll read ‘em soon as I get the time
 
 
[Verse 3]
        B
We were picking in Chicago
    E                              B
The night the telegram came to the gig
       B
It was from my little sister
    F#7                            B
And she said bubba bubba come home quick
B
Momma’s got a fever
    E                             B
And daddy says she surely must be dying
    B
And momma’s one request the thing she loves the best
                         F#7             B     C
Was to hear you sing the gospel one more time
 
 
[Chorus]
           F
And that’s when I went from singing rock and roll
                        C
Back to singing Rock of Ages (rock of ages)
        G7
And the little country church
                                        C
Seemed a million miles from the concert stages (ahhh)
 
        F
And the good Lord wrote my momma’s name
                           C
In the book of everlasting pages
                            F        C
I finally went from singing rock and roll
   G               C
To singing Rock of Ages
 
[Outro]
F         C
Cleft for me let me hide myself in Thee
      F
Yes I finally went from singing rock and roll
                        C
Back to singing Rock of Ages (rock of ages)
        G
And the little country church
                                        C
Seemed a million miles from the concert stages...
