               G5          C5            G5        D5       C5 - G5
1. A winter's day, in a deep and dark December,   I am alone.
     A5              D5      A5                D5
    Gazing from my window to the streets below,
           A5             C5                 D5
    on a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow.
            G5    E5        D5 - G5    - E5
    I am a rock, I am an island.
                G5       C5                 G5            D5        C5    G5
2. I've built walls, a fortress deep and mighty, that none may penetrate.
       A5                 D5          A5               D5
    I have no need for friendship, friendship causes pain,
          A5                 C5           D5
    it's laughter and it's loving I disdain.
            G5    E5      D5 - G5   - E5
    I am a rock, I am an island.
                  G5                C5                G5
3. Don't talk of love, well, I've heard the word before,
          D5             C5  G5
   it's sleeping in my memory.
       A5                  D5          A5                 D5
    I won't disturb the slumber of feelings that have died,
            A5              C5                 D5
    if I'd never loved, I never would have cried.
            G5    E5        D5 - G5   - E5
    I am a rock, I am an island.
              G5             C5            G5
4. I have my books, and my poetry to protect me.
           D5             C5 G5
    I am shielded in my armor.
     A5            D5     A5              D5
    Hiding in my room , safe within my womb,
        A5              C5               D5
    I touch no-one and no-one touches me.
            G5    E5        D5 - G5
    I am a rock, I am an island.
             C5             G5            C5      D5      G5
    And the rock feels no pain, and an island never cries.
