E a winter's day A E In a deep and dark December; Gbm B A E I am alone, Gbm B Gbm B Gazing from my window to the streets below Gbm A B On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow. E I am a rock, B E I am an is-land. E I've built walls, A E a fortress deep and mighty, Gbm B A E That none may penetrate. Gbm B Gbm B I have no need of friendship; friendship causes pain. Gbm A B It's laughter and it's loving I disdain. E I am a rock, B E I am an is-land. E Don't talk of love, A E I've heard the words before; Gbm B A E It's sleeping in my memory. Gbm B Gbm B And I won't disturb the slumber of feelings that have died. Gbm A B If I never loved I never would have cried. E I am a rock, B E I am an is-land. E I have my books A E And my poetry to protect me; Gbm B A E I am shielded in my armor, Gbm B Gbm B Hiding in my room, safe within my womb. Gbm A B I touch no one and no one touches me. E I am a rock, B E I am an is-land. A Abm E And a rock feels no pain; A Abm E And an island never cries.
