Am                                                 F
Cause there's nothing I could do to get loose from you

With two beat up drums and two old guitars

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

F               F 
Rock of Ages, cleave for me

Let me hide myself in Thee

On better terms since Birmingham
