Like A Rock

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.

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.
