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