[Intro] E | D E | E | B E x2 [Verse 1]
                     D  E
I was standing by the bedside

         B               E
Where my fevered mother lay

                         D      E
Then she called me close beside her

          B                 E
And these words I heard her say
[Chorus]
                           D    E
I’ve just seen the rock of ages

         B             E
Jacob’s ladder hanging down

                               D      E
I’ve just crossed the river of Jordan

         B                E
Now, my son, I’m homeward bound
E | D E | E | B E x2 [Verse 2]
                   D      E
As we gathered all around her

         B              E
Tears began to fill my eyes

                          D     E
Then she called me close beside her

           B             E
Whispered softly her good-byes
[Chorus]
                           D    E
I’ve just seen the rock of ages

         B             E
Jacob’s ladder hanging down

                               D      E
I’ve just crossed the river of Jordan

         B                E
Now, my son, I’m homeward bound
E | D E | E | B E x2 [Verse 3]
                          D      E
Pine trees blowing on the mountain

           B             E
Where poor mother sleeps today

                               D      E
There she’ll sleep beneath the fountain

             B                E
There she’ll rest beneath the clay
[Outro]
                           D    E
I’ve just seen the rock of ages

         B             E
Jacob’s ladder hanging down

                               D      E
I’ve just crossed the river of Jordan

         B                E
Now, my son, I’m homeward bound
