The chorus goes something like "Round, round, gonna go round, Gonna see the rock of ages. When my body gives out, Gonna read my final pages." Anyone got the full lyrics (and chords--as a reminder of the melody)? |

Great song. It just dawned on me that you could do this song simultaneously with "Shady Grove" (as a partner song). Very similar tunes and, I think, the same chord sequence. |
