I Am A Rock
(Simon & Garfunkel)

GCG
A winter's day, in a deep and dark December.
D7CGCDC
I am alone . Gazing from my window to the
DAmC
streets below On a freshly fallen silent shroud
DGCD7GEm
of snow. I am a rock, I am an island.
GCG
I've built walls, a fortress deep and mighty,
D7CGC
That none may penetrate. I have no need of
DCDAm
friendship, friendship causes pain. Its laughter
CDGC
and its loving I disdain. I am a rock, I am an
D7GEm
island.
GC
Don't talk of love, well I've heard the words
GD7CGC
before; It's sleeping in my memory. I won't
     
DCD
disturb the slumber of feelings that have died.
AmCD
If I never loved I never would have cried. I am
GCD7GEm
a rock, I am an island.
GCG
I have my books and my poetry to protect me; I
D7CGCDC
am shielded in my armor. Hiding in my room, safe
DAmC
within my womb, I touch no one and no one
DGCD7GEm
touches me. I am a rock, I am an island. And
CGCD7G
a rock feels no pain, and an island never cries.
