[D]
[E] Got her education on a [Em] mama's dime.
She [D] was singing in a bar called Colby's Toast, [G] halfway rusted on a [E] salty coast.
[Em] Rock of [C] Ages, [G] clean for me.
[C] Let me [G] hide [Em]
myself [G] in peace.
[C] Buried in [Em] the sand, [G] [C] 500 [G] miles [D] from [G] Birmingham.
We'll rock a mountain cowboy, rock an old band,
put his amplifier in all [Em] across the land.

Athens, Georgia on a Friday [G] night, saw a little girl, she could [Em] sing alright.

Why, [C] dear, dear [Em] man, [G] [C] calling [G] me from [D] Birmingham.
[G]
[Em] Oh, I'm a cowboy, I'm a BQE,
say, there's no place I'd like you out of [G] seven feet.
[Em] Where a cowboy laughs, you know it's not true,
there's nothing I can do to get a hoot [G] from you.
Made a little mother to be that troll [Em] guitar.
From [D] the Crescent City [G] to the Great Salt Lake,
it ain't [C] what you got, it's [Em] what you make.
[G]
[Em]
[D]
[C] [Em]
When [G] the road got rough and the wheels all broke,
[Em] and you couldn't take more than we could tow.
[D] Made something out of nothing, from a [G] scratch and a hole,
[C] to old guitars like a [G] shovel and a rope.
Rock [C] of Ages, [G] clean for me.
[C] When you had [Em]
myself [G] in thee, now [C] I
[Em] understand,
on [Em]
bitter [G] terms since [D] Birmingham.
[C] [Em] [Am]
