Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[D](Written by Bill Anderson)
[G](God put a song in the [F#]heart of
[Bm]an Angel,)[G]
(And softly she [A]sang it [D]to me.)

[Verse 2]
I get to thinking lots of times [D]About
back when I was a lad,
Of the [G]old home- place where
I growed up;
[D]Of the days both good and bad.
[G]My overall[C#dim]s was

[Verse 3]
[Bm]hand- me- downs,
[E]y shoes was full of [A]holes,
And I used to walk four miles
to school every day,
Through [D]the rain and the sleet
and the cold.

[Verse 4]
I've seen the nights [G]when my
daddy would cry
For the things that his fam[D]ily would need,
But all he ever got was a bad- lands [A]farm
And seven hungry mouths [D]to feed.

[Verse 5]
[D]And yet, [A]and yet out [D]home- fire [A]never [D]flickered once,
'Cause when all [A]these
things went wrong,
[D]Mama took the hymn- book down,
And mama sang a [Bm]song.

[Verse 6]
[D](What a friend we have in
[G]Jes[D]us.)

[Verse 7]
I been rocked to sleep many a night [D]To the
tune of "What A Friend"
TO THE TUNE OF "WHAT A
[A]FRIEND"; come morning,
"Rock of Ages" would waken me
gentle once [D]again.

[Verse 8]
Then dad, he'd reach up [G]an
d take the [D]bible down
And read [G]it, read it loud and long,
I always thought that may[A]be
our our home [D]was blessed
When daddy [A]would say,
"Mamma, sing [D]a song."

[Verse 9]
Sister [D]left home first, I guess,
Then Bob [G]and then Tommy
and then Dan,
Then dad's hair was turnin' [C]white,
'N I had to be mama's little man.

[Verse 10]
But it seemed that as [G]daddy's
back growed weak,
Mother's faith [D]just growed strong,
[G]And them were the greatest days of all,
When mama samg a song.
(Rock of ages, [C]cleft for

[Verse 11]
[G]me.)
(Let me hide [C]myself [G]in
[C]the[G]e.)[D]...[G]
OOH,
OOH, OOH. (Through Recitation)

[Verse 12]
I guess the house [D]is still standing;
I don't get back much no more,
No [G]voice is left to fill them halls,

[Verse 13]
'N no steps to grace the floor.
[D]You see, my mama sin[G]gs
in [D]heaven now,
Around [G]God's golden throne,
But I'll always believe this world
Is a better place because, one time,
My mama [C]sang a song.

[Outro 1]
[C][G][D][D][C][G]
