Simon & Garfunkel - I Am a Rock: Ukulele Chords

            C
A winter's day
      F               C
In a deep and dark December;
Dm  G  F  C
 I  am a lone,
Dm              G      Dm               G
Gazing from my window to the streets below
      Dm             F                 G
On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow.

Chorus:
        C
I am a rock,
        G  C
I am an island.

           C
I've built walls,
   F                 C
A fortress deep and mighty,
      Dm   G   F    C
That none may penetrate.
   Dm               G          Dm                G
I have no need of friendship; friendship causes pain
      Dm                F           G
It's laughter and it's loving I disdain.

Chorus

Don’t talk of love
Well, I’ve heard the word before
It’s sleeping in my memory
I won’t disturb the slumber
Of feelings that have died
If I never loved, I never would have cried

Chorus

I have my books
And my poetry to protect me
I am shielded in my armor
Hiding in my room
Safe within my womb
I touch no one and no one touches me

Chorus

       F    Am    G  C
And a rock feels no pain;
       F      Am G  C
And an island never cries.
