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]
