George Jones - The Rock Chords

CAPO 2


INTRO:  E

E
When you wake up in the mornin'
        A                   E                          C#min  B
And you wonder why no one's beside you where I usually lay,
        E                                   A
And you think you hear the sound of distant thunder,
                           E                   B                E
Well, that's just your old rock (just your old rock) a-rollin' away


        A
I was a rock standing strong for you.
              E
Oh, there was nothing that I wouldn't do.
              C#min  B                E
No matter the cost,    I was ready to pay.
                A             
Now you say I'm only holdin' you down
              E                          A
Like some old rock you've been draggin' around.
              E                   B                           E
Yes, I'm your rock (just your old rock), but now I'm rollin' away.


            E                 A
I'm rollin away on a downhill grade, 
        E                                                B
But I'm gonna come to rest 'side a mountain of love some day.
         E                             A
'Cause I finally understand, if you're resting on shifting sands,
             E            B                       E
Well, even a rock (even a rock) will go a-rollin' away.


        A
I was a rock standing strong for you.
              E
No, there was nothing that I wouldn't do.
              C#min  B                E
No matter the cost,    I was ready to pay.
                A             
Now you say I'm only holdin' you down
              E                          A
Like some old rock you've been draggin' around.
                E                   B                           E   A
Yes, I was your rock (just your old rock), but now I'm rollin' away.
                  E                   B                       A   E B E
Honey, I was your rock (just your old rock), now I'm rollin' away.
