Start Jamming...
[N] This [C#] is probably my most neurotic [B] song.
[Bm] A winter's [B] day
In a deep and dark December
[C#m] [F#] [E]
[B] [C#m] Gazing from my [F#] window [C#m] to the streets [D#m] below
On a [C#m] freshly fallen silent shroud of [F#] snow
[B] I am a rock, [E] I am [F#] an [B] ox
I've built walls, a [E] portrait steep and [B] mighty
That [C#m]
none may [B] penetrate
I have no [F#] need of friendship, [C#m] friendship causes [F#] pain
[C#m] It's laughter and it's loving I [F#] disdain
[E] I am [B] a rock, [C#m] [F#]
[B]
don't talk of love
Well I've heard the word before
It's
[C#] [F#] leaping in my [E]
[B] memory
And I [C#m] won't disturb [F#] the slumber of [C#m] feelings that have [F#] died
If I never [C#m] loved I never would have [F#] cried
[B]
I am a rock, I am an [F#]
ox
[B]
I have my books and my [C#m] poetry to [B] protect me
I am [F#] shielded in [E] my [B] armor
Hiding in my room, safe within my womb
I touch no [E] one and no one touches [F#] me
I [B] am a rock, I am an [F#] ox
A [B]
rock can feel no pain, and [C#m] an island [F#] no [B]
[A#m]
[D] [G]
[C#] more
