I Am a Rock Simon & Garfunkel
I Am A Rock
1965 by Paul SIMON
A winter's [G]day, in a [C]deep and dark de[G]cember;
[Am]I a[D7]m al[C]one,[G] g[Am]azing from my [Bm]window [Am]to the streets be[Bm]low
On a [Am]freshly fallen [C]silent shroud of [D]snow.
[C]I Am A [G]Rock, [C]I am an [D7]isl[G]and.
I've built [G]walls, a [C]fortress deep and [G]mighty,
That[Am] no[D7]ne may [C]pene[G]trate. I [Am]have no need of [Bm]friendship;
[Am]Friendship causes [Bm]pain. It's [Am]laughter and it's [C]loving I dis[D]dain.
[C]I Am A [G]Rock, [C]I am an [D7]isl[G]and.
Don't talk of [G]love, but I've [C]heard the words be[G]fore;
It's [Am]sleeping [D7]in my [C]memo[G]ry. I [Am]won't disturb the [Bm]slumber of [Am]feelings
That have [Bm]died. If I [Am]never loved I [C]never would have [D]cried.
[C]I Am A [G]Rock, [C]I am an [D7]isl[G]and.
I have my [G]books, and my [C]poetry to pro[G]tect me;
I am [Am]shiel[D7]ded in [C]my ar[G]mor, [Am]hiding in my [Bm]room, [Am]save within my [Bm]womb.
I [Am]touched no one and [C]no one touches [D]me.
[C]I Am A [G]Rock, [C]I am an [D7]isl[G]and.
And a [Am]rock [D7]feels no [G]pain;
And an [Am]island [D7]never [G]cries!
