(capo 1? casa)

G5   C5   G5   C5
G5
Stood there boldly sweatin' in the sun
C5
Felt like a million, felt like number one
F5                         C5
The height of summer, I'd never felt that strong
       G5
Like a rock.

G5
I was eighteen, didn't have a care
C5
Workin' for peanuts, not a dime to spare
F5                  C5
But I was lean and solid everywhere
       G5
Like a rock.

G5
My hands were steady, my eyes were clear and bright
C5
My walk had purpose, my steps were quick and light
F5                  C5
And I held firm to what I felt was right
       G5
Like a rock.

       G5
Like a rock - I was strong as I could be
       C5
Like a rock - nothin' ever got to me
       F5            C5
Like a rock - I was something to see
       G5
Like a rock.

      E5
And I stood arrow straight, unencumbered by the weight
             G5
Of all these hustlers and their schemes
        C5
I stood proud, I stood tall, high above it all
  A5                   D5
I still believed in my dreams.

G5
Twenty years now, where'd they go
C5
Twenty years - I don't know
F5                           C5              G5
I sit and I wonder sometimes where they've gone

    G5                       C5
And sometimes late at night - oh when I'm bathed in the firelight
F5                                C5
The moon comes callin' a ghostly white

And I recall, I recall.

       G5
Like a rock - standin' arrow straight
       C5
Like a rock - chargin' from the gate
       F5      C5
Like a rock - carryin' the weight
       G5
Like a rock.
       G5
Like a rock - the sun upon my skin
       C5
Like a rock - hard against the wind
       F5               C5
Like a rock - I see myself again
       G5
Like a rock,

Oh, like a rock.
