I Am A Rock
1965 by Paul SIMON
G C G
A winter's day, in a deep and dark december;
am D7 C G am hm am hm
I am alone, gazing from my window to the streets below
am C D
On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow.
C G C D7 G
I Am A Rock, I am an island.
G C G
I've built walls, a fortress deep and mighty,
am D7 C G am hm
That none may penetrate. I have no need of friendship;
am hm am C D
Friendship causes pain. It's laughter and it's loving I disdain.
C G C D7 G
I Am A Rock, I am an island.
G C G
Don't talk of love, but I've heard the words before;
am D7 C G am hm am
It's sleeping in my memory. I won't disturb the slumber of feelings
hm am C D
That have died. If I never loved I never would have cried.
C G C D7 G
I Am A Rock, I am an island.
G C G
I have my books, and my poetry to protect me;
am D7 C G am hm am hm
I am shielded in my armor, hiding in my room, save within my womb.
am C D
I touched no one and no one touches me.
C G C D7 G
I Am A Rock, I am an island.
am D7 G
And a rock feels no pain;
am D7 G
And an island never cries!
by Franz Felix - Austria/Vienna
