like a rock chords *
bob seger

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 .

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

G
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 .
