I AM A ROCK Paul Simeon
Intro G Gadd9 G Emadd9 Em Emadd9 Em CAPO 5
G C G Am D7 C- G
A winter's day, in a deep and dark December, I am a-lone.
Am7 Bm Am7 Bm
Gazing from my window to the streets below,
Am C D
On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow.
C G C/G D7 G Gadd9 G Emadd9 Em Emadd9 Em
I am a rock, I am an is--land.
G C/G G
I've built walls, a fortress deep and mighty,
Am D7 C G
That none may penetrate
Am7 Bm Am7 Bm
I have no need for friendship, friendship causes pain,
Am C D
It's laughter and it's loving I disdain.
C G C/G D7 G Gadd9 G Emadd9 Em Emadd9 Em
I am a rock, I am an is--land.
G C/G G
Don't talk of love, well, I've heard the words before,
Am D7 C G
It's sleeping in my memory.
Am7 Bm Am7 Bm
I won't disturb the slumber of feelings that have died,
Am C D
If I'd never loved, I never would have cried.
C G C/G D7 G Gadd9 G Emadd9 Em Emadd9 Em
I am a rock, I am an is--land.
G C/G G
I have my books, and my poetry to protect me.
D C G
I am shielded in my armour.
Am Bm Am Bm
Hiding in my room, safe within my womb,
Am C D
I touch no-one and no-one touches me.
C G C/G D7 G Gadd9 G
I am a rock, I am an is--land.
Am7 D7 G Am7 D7 G
And the rock feels no pain, and an island never cries.
