Lee Roy Parnell - The Rock
(verse 1)
[G]When you wake up in the m[G7]orning, and you wo[C]nder,
[G]Why no one's beside you, where I [Em]usually [D]lay,
[G]And you think you hear the[G7] sound of distance th[C]under,
That's just your o[G]ld roc[D]k, rolling[G] away,
(chorus)
I was your r[C]ock, standing strong for you,
there was n[G]othing I wouldn't do,
No matter the c[Em]ost, [D]I was [G]ready to p[G7]ay,
Now you say I'm only [C]holding you down,
Like some old r[G]ock, You've been dragging a[C]round,
Yes I'm your r[G]ock, [D]But I'm rolling aw[G]ay,
(verse 2)
[G]I'm ro[G7]lling away, on a downhill gr[C]ade,
[G]I'm gonna come to rest side a mountain of l[Em]ove some [D]day,
[G]Cause I finally understand, if your re[G7]sting on shifting sa[C]nds,
even [G]a rock[D] goes rolling aw[G]ay,
(chorus)
I was your r[C]ock, standing strong for you,
There was n[G]othing I wouldn't do,
No matter the c[Em]ost, [D]I was [G]ready to p[G7]ay,
Now you say I'm only [C]holding you down,
Like some old r[G]ock, You've been dragging ar[C]ound,
Yes I'm your r[G]ock, [D]But I'm rolling aw[G]ay,
Yes I'm your r[G]ock, [D]But I'm rolling aw[G]ay,
