I am a Rock


Capo 3


 
           A
A winter's day
     D               A      A
In a deep and dark December
 
Bm  E  D    A
 I  am a lone

Bm             E      Bm               E
Gazing from my window to the streets below
     Bm             D                E
On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow.
 
       A
I am a rock
        E  A
I am an is-land.
 
A  F#m
 
           A
I've built walls,
  D                 A
A fortress deep and mighty,
     Bm   E   D   A
That none may penetrate.
  Bm              E           Bm                E
I have no need of friendship friendship causes pain.
      Bm               D           E
It's laughter and it's loving I disdain.
 
       A
I am a rock
        E  A
I am an is-land.
 
A  F#m
 
              A
Don't talk of love,
     D                 A
I've heard the words before
     Bm   E         D   A
It's sleeping in my memory.
      Bm                E          Bm                 E
And I won't disturb the slumber of feelings that have died.
     Bm            D                E
If I never loved I never would have cried.
 
       A
I am a rock,
        E  A
I am an is-land.
 
A  F#m
 
          A
I have my books
       D            A
And my poetry to protect me
     Bm   E         D  A
I am shielded in my armor
Bm           E     Bm             E
Hiding in my room, safe within my womb.
  Bm               D              E
I touch no one and no one touches me.
 
       A
I am a rock,
        E  A      A
I am an is-land.
 
      D    F#m   E  A
And a rock feels no pain
       D      F#m E  A
And an island nev er cries.
