 The  Rock                                    Leroy  Parnell
 
                G                            G7                C
 When  you wake up in the morning, and you  wonder
                         G                                   Em        D
 Why no one's beside you, where I  usually  lay
             G                          G7                         C
 And  you think you hear the sound of distance  thunder
                             G     D          G            
 That's just your  old rock, rolling away
 
 Chorus:                 C
           I  was your rock, standing strong for  you
                           G                       
           there  was nothing I wouldn't  do
                                Em
           No  matter the cost
           D                    G          G7
           I  was ready to  pay
                                    C
           Now  you say I'm only holding you  down
                                 G
           Like  some old  rock
                                             C
           You've  been dragging  around
                                G
            Yes  I'm your  rock
            D                     G       
            But  I'm rolling  away
 
                G     G7                        C
 I'm  rolling away      on a downhill  grade
                G                                                            Em        D
 I'm gonna come to rest side a mountain  of love some  day
             G                  G7                C
 "cause  I finally understand, if your resting on shifting sands,  
            G     D                  G
 even  a rock goes rolling away
 
 
 Chorus  
 
                   G      D                         G
 Yes  I'm your rock,     but I'm rolling  away
