The Same Picking Pattern Gets applied to all chords where it is needed.

G

The rock of my soul went to church on sunday,

Em

The rock of my soul went to work on monday,

G

Clean across the leves by the railroad tracks,

Em

The other side of houston in a two room shack.

C

Sweeping out confetti from a third grade classroom,

Em

The rock of my soul pushed a dust mop broom.

G

The rock of my soul didn't have much luck,

Em

He came to town grinnin on a flat bed truck.

G

The rock of my soul didn't have much charm,

Em

With the lack of eductaion on a red dirt farm.

C

He was fond of disapearing on an eight day drunk,

Em

Coming Home smelling like a low down skunk.

and he said.... (Start Strum)

F Em C G

Do like I say, not like I do and you might make me proud.

F Em C G

Another Houston kid on a downhill skid for crying out loud.

(Back to Pickin)

G

I'm a first hand witness to an age old crime,

Em

A man who hits a woman isn't worth a dime.

G

5, 6, 7, 8, 9 years old,

Em

Thats what I remember about the rock of my soul.

C

I told him I would kill him if he did not stop it,

Em

But the rock of my soul just would not drop it.

F

I learned to lie like dirt,

Em C G

I could steal your shirt and , talk with a gun.

F Em C G

Another Houston kid on a downhill skid like father like son.

G

Now I got out of prison 'bout a year ago,

Em

Seven long years really went by slow.

G

I didn't kill my daddy but my momma tried,

Em

She shot him with a pistol and he like to a died.

C

I'm on probation living straight and true,

Em

and there's every indication that the past is through.

C G

That's all I know, 'bout the rock of my soul.

Repeat G, Em 5x then end.
