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!
