All current versions of this song's chord chart are not actually Ascend the Hill's version of the song, so I made this so that people could genuinely play Ascend the Hill's version of this song, as it is one of the most beautiful reworked hymns I have ever heard. Rock of Ages - Ascend the Hill Standard Tuning - Capo on 4th fret G (3,2,0,0,3,3) Make sure you have your finger on the 3rd fret of the B string. C2 (X,3,2,0,3,3) This is the same as the G chord, but with your top two fingers moved down a string. D/F# (2,0,0,2,3,3) Your pinky and ring finger should be in the same place as it was in the G and C2 chord. C (X,3,2,0,1,0) or (3,3,2,0,1,0) Adding the 3rd fret on the low E string makes it sound slightly more minor, which is good for this song. D4 (X,5,4,0,3,X) or (5,5,4,0,3,X) This is the same as the C chord, but moving all your fingers up 2 frets. Try to mute the high E string. Em (0,7,5,0,0,0) or (7,7,5,0,0,0) or (0,2,2,0,0,0) Personally I like the sound of playing the Em chord higher in this song, but you can play it normally.

^D/F#Rock of ^GAges, ^C2cleft for^G me, Let me ^Ghide ^D4myself i^Emn thee. Let ^D4the water and the^C blood, From thy ^D4wounded side which f^Clowed, ^D/F#Be of ^Gsin the ^C2double ^Gcure, Save from ^Gwrath^D4 and make me ^Cpure.

^D/F#Not the ^Glabors ^C2of my ^Ghands Can fulf^Gill^D4 thy law's ^Emdemands. Could my z^D4eal no respite ^Cknow, Could my t^D4ears forever fl^Cow, ^D/F#These for ^Gsin could ^C2not a^Gtone. Thou must ^Gsave,^D4 and thou ^Calone.

^D/F#Nothing ^Gin my ^C2hand I ^Gbring, Simply ^Gto ^D4thy cross I c^Emling. Naked, ^D4come to thee for d^Cress, Helpless, ^D4look to thee for g^Crace, ^D/F#Foul, I t^Go thy ^C2fountain ^Gfly, Wash me, ^GSavi^D4or, or I ^Emdie. Wash me, ^GSavi^D4or, or I ^Emdie. Wash me, ^GSavi^D4or, or I d^Cie.

^D/F#While I d^Graw this ^C2fleeting^G breath, When my ^Geyes ^D4shall close in ^Emdeath, When I ^D4rise to worlds unk^Cnown, And beh^D4old thee on the t^Chrone, ^CRock of ^GAges, ^Ccleft for^G me, Let me ^Ghide^D4 myself in ^Emthee. Let me ^Ghide^D4 myself in ^Emthee. Let me ^Ghide^D4 myself in ^Cthee.
