G C G C
G
Stood there boldly sweatin’ in the sun
C
Felt like a million, felt like number one
F C
The height of summer, I’d never felt that strong
G
Like a rock.
G
I was eighteen, didn’t have a care
C
Workin’ for peanuts, not a dime to spare
F C
But I was lean and solid everywhere
G
Like a rock.
G
My hands were steady, my eyes were clear and bright
C
My walk had purpose, my steps were quick and light
F C
And I held firm to what I felt was right
G
Like a rock.
G
Like a rock — I was strong as I could be
C
Like a rock — nothin’ ever got to me
F C
Like a rock — I was something to see
G
Like a rock.
Em
And I stood arrow straight, unencumbered by the weight
G
Of all these hustlers and their schemes
C
I stood proud, I stood tall, high above it all
Am D
I still believed in my dreams.
[SOLO]
G
Twenty years now, where’d they go
C
Twenty years — I don’t know
F C G
I sit and I wonder sometimes where they’ve gone
G C
And sometimes late at night — oh when I’m bathed in the firelight
F C
The moon comes callin’ a ghostly white
And I recall, I recall.
G
Like a rock — standin’ arrow straight
C
Like a rock — chargin’ from the gate
F C
Like a rock — carryin’ the weight
G
Like a rock.
G
Like a rock — the sun upon my skin
C
Like a rock — hard against the wind
F C
Like a rock — I see myself again
G
Like a rock,
Oh, like a rock.
[SOLO]
