no capo!

[verse]

C
A winter’s day
F C
In a deep and dark december
Am G F C
i am alone
F Em
And gazing through my window
Am Em
To the streets below
Am
On freshly fallen
F G
Silence shroud of snow

[chorus]

C
I am a rock
F G C Am
I am an island

[verse]

C
I built walls
F C
A fortress deep and mighty
G F C
That none may penetrate
Am Em
I have no need for friendship
Am Em
Friendship causes pain
F
It’s laughter
G
And it’s love that i disdain

[chorus]

C
I am a rock
F G C Am
I am an island

[verse]

C
Don’t talk of love
F C
I heard the word before
Am G F C
It’s seeping in my memory
Am Em
I won’t disturb the slumber
F Em
Of feelings that’ll died
F
If i never love
C
And i never wanna cry

[chorus]

C
I am a rock
F G C Am
I am an island

[verse]

C
I have my books
F C
And my poetry to protect me
G F C
I’m shielded in my honor
Am Em
Hiding in my room
Am Em
Safe within my womb
F
I touch no one and
G
No one touches me

[chorus]

C
I am a rock
F G C Am
I am an island

[outro]

F G C
And a rock feels no pain
F Em C
And an island never cries
