I Am A Rock chords by April Wine

April Wine
I am a rock
From Back At the Mansion
Capo 1

(D)A winter’s day
In a (G)deep and dark (D)december;
I (Em)am (A G D)alone,
(Em)Gazing from my (A)window (Em)to the streets (A)below
(Em)On a freshly fallen (G)silent shroud of (A)snow.
I am a (D)rock,
I am an (A)is(D)land.

I’ve built walls,
A fortress deep and mighty,
That none may penetrate.
I have no need of friendship; friendship causes pain.
It’s laughter and it’s loving I disdain.
I am a rock,
I am an island
An (G)I (Fm#)Never (D)Cry.

(Bm over solos and interludes)

Don’t talk of love,
But I’ve heard the words before;
It’s sleeping in my memory.
I won’t disturb the slumber of feelings that have died.
If I never loved I never would have cried.
I am a rock,
I am an island.

I have my books
And my poetry to protect me;
I am shielded in my armor,
Hiding in my room, safe within my womb.
I touch no one and no one touches me.
I am a rock,
I am an island.

And a (G)rock (Fm#)feels no (D)pain;
And an island never cries.
