I Am A Rock Chords by Paul Simon

[B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
A winter's day _ in _ _ _ _ _ a [E] deep and dark [B] December. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ [F#m] I am [C#m] _ _ _ [B] alone, _ _ [C#m] gazing from [D#m] my window [C#m] to the streets [D#m] below
[C#m] on a freshly [E] fallen [F#] silent shroud of snow.
[C#m] I am a [B] rock.
_ [F#] I am an _ _ _ [B] island. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ I built walls, _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] a fortress deep [B] and mighty
_ that _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ [F#m] none may [C#m] _ [B] penetrate.
_ _ [C#m] I have no need [D#] of friendship.
[C#m] Friendship [D#m] causes [C#m] pain.
It's laughter and it's loving [F#] I disdain.
[C#] I am [B] a rock.
[C#m] I [F#] am an _ _ _ [B] island. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Don't talk of love. _ _ _ _
Well, [E] I've heard the word [B] before.
_ _ _ _ _ It's [C#m]
[F#m] sleeping in [C#m] my [B] _ memory. _
[C#] And I won't disturb [D#m] the slumber [C#] of feelings [D#m] that have died.
[C#m] If I [B] never loved, I never [F#] would have cried.
[C#m] I [B] am a rock.
_ [C#m] I am [F#] an _ _ _ [B] island. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
I have my books _ _ _ _ and [E] my _ poetry [B] to protect me.
_ _ _ _ _ [C#m] I am _ [F#m] shielded in [C#m] my _ [B] armor. _
_ _ [C#m] Hiding in [D#m] my room, [C#m] safe within my [D#m] womb.
[C#] I touch no [B] one and no [F#] one touches [C#m] me.
I am [B] a rock.
[C#m] I [F#] am an _ _ _ [B] island. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
And [C#] a rock can [B] feel no pain. _
[C#] And an island [F#m] _ [B] never cries.
