In August 2008, Alex Day searched the web for “Time Lord Rock” - a subsection of music he thought would exist to celebrate the TV show Doctor Who - but got no results. Shortening the term to ‘Trock’, he introduced the concept to his YouTube viewers, launching the music with a self-penned song called An Awful Lot Of Running (inspired by the words of Jenny at the end of the 2008 episode ‘The Doctor’s Daughter’).
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Either play with a cappo on third fret, or no cappo at all, depending on what sound suits you. I'm not sure if the "each time lord child part..." part is right. The chords dont seem to work there but I couldn't find any to replace them.

EmC Can you hear them? They're coming GD They're in the signal, they're in my head.
Em Is it only me? CGD am I the only one to be called? EmCGD This pounding in my ears is calling me to rule the world.
EmCGD Rule the universe as a Master of your fate. EmC Can you hear the drums? GD Don't try to fight them; it's too late.
AmCEm Each Timelord child, G Approaches the eye, AmC Forced to behold the vortex, EmG To be inspired or run, AmCEm But as I gazed into the vastness of time, G (build up) I heard the sound of drums.
EmC Can you hear them? They're coming GD They're in the signal, they're in my head. EmC Can you hear them? They're coming GD They're in the signal, they're in my head.
Em In professor's guise, CGD Oh Doctor, Doctor, you have healed me. Em You are not alone, CGD It took you far too long to see me. Em Now I lay in your arms, CGD Mortally wounded in your care. Em I'll leave you here forever, CGD Last of the Timelords once again.
Am Don't leave me now, C Think of all we've done together, Em Think of all the vanquished foes, G Think of all we could be.
AmCEmG It would be hell for me, imprisoned here forever, with you. Don't, please, you've got to, please, we're the only ones left, please, Just regenerate!
Em Can you hear them (In my dreams they're calling) C They're coming (And every waking moment) G They're in the signal (I heard the vortex calling) D They're in my head.
Em Can you hear them? (I heard the sound) C They're coming (The sound of drums) G They're in the signal D They're in my head
