G
Delta Mama and a Nickajack Man
Em
Raised their Cumberland daughters in a Tennessee band

Played Springwater at Station Inn
C                Em
Couldn't play fast, couldn't fit in

G
Caught a '66 Dodge in Caroline
Em
Got her education on her mama's dime

She was singing in a bar called Comatose
C               Em
Halfway rusted on the salty coast

C       G
Rock of Ages, cleave for me
C    G    Em   G
Let me hide myself in Thee
G    C  Em
Buried in the sand
C       G    D   G
Five hundred miles from Birmingham

G
Rockamount Cowboy in a rock and roll band
G                    Em
Plugged his amplifier in all across the land
D
Athens, Georgia on a friday night
C                   Em
Saw that little girl, she could sing alright

G
Spent five years going from town to town
G                   Em
Waiting on that little girl to come around
D
Caught in the arms of New York City
C                 Em
To lose that gal seemed terrible pity

C       G
Rock of Ages, cleave for me
C     G   Em  G
Let my heart forget a beat
G   C  Em
Why do you demand
C     G  D   G
Calling me from Birmingham

Em
Pulled her covered wagon off the BQE
Em                     G
Said this'll be the last you'll ever see of me
Em
Well the cowboy laughed said I know it's not true
Em                         G
Cause there's nothing I could do to get loose from you

G
Made a little money playing in the bars
G                   Em
With two beat up drums and two old guitars
C
From the Crescent City to the Great Salt Lake
C                  Em
It ain't what you got, it's what you make

HARMONICA
G  Em  C  Em

G
When the road got rough and the wheels all broke
Em
Couldn't take more then we could tow
G
Making something out of nothing with a scratcher and our hope
C                      G
With two old guitars like a shovel and a rope

C        G
Rock of Ages, cleave for me
C    G    Em   G
Let me hide myself in Thee
G   C  Em
Now I understand
C     G      D   G
On better terms since Birmingham
