Like A Rock

	  		{} 

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 
         
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.
