{title: I Am A Rock}
{artist: Simon & Garfunkel}
[G] A winter's day
In a [C] deep and dark De-[G]cember
[Am] I [D] am a-[C]lo-[G]one,
[Am] Gazing from my [D] window [Am] to the streets be-[D]low
On a [Am] freshly fallen [C] silent shroud of [D] snow.
I am a [G] rock, I am an [D] is-[G]land. [G] [Em]
I've built [G] walls,
a [C] fortress deep and [G] mighty,
That [Am] none [D] may [C] pene-[G]trate.
I [Am] have no need of [D] friendship;
[Am] friendship causes [D] pain.
It's [Am] laughter and it's [C] loving I dis-[D]dain.
I am a [G] rock, I am an [D] is-[G]land. [G] [Em]
Don't talk of [G] love,
I've [C] heard the words be-[G]fore;
It's [Am] slee-[D]ping in my [C] mem-[G]ory.
And I [Am] won't disturb the [D] slumber
of [Am] feelings that have [D] died.
If I [Am] never loved I [C] never would have [D] cried.
I am [G] a rock, I am an [D] is-[G]land. [G] [Em]
I have my [G] books
And my [C] poetry to pro-[G]tect me;
I am [Am] shiel-[D]ded in my [C] ar-[G]mour,
[Am] Hiding in my [D] room, [Am] safe within my [D] womb.
I [Am] touch no one and [C] no one touches [D] me.
I am a [G] rock, I am an [D] is-[G]land.
And a [C] rock [Bm] feels no [G] pain;
And an [C] island [Bm] never [G] cries.
