Suzanne Vega, cantante y compositora, nació el 11 de julio de 1959 en Santa Mónica, Los Ángeles, California.
A los dos años de edad, se trasladó con su familia a Nueva York. Se crió en el barrio hispano de Harlem; a los nueve años escribió su primer poema y con catorce empezó a componer canciones. Cursó estudios de danza contemporánea y frecuentó los clubes de Greenwich Village mientras asistía a clases de literatura en la escuela de arte Barnard College.

Here's my version of Suzanne Vega's "Rock In This Pocket". The chords I've listed as D/B and D/Bb have more proper names (Bm7 and Bbmaj7 repsectively), but I think this is easier to understand. Most of the time, you concentrate on the last four strings and play the higher strings for affect (listen to SV doing it acoustically to see what I mean). Also with the D/B and D/Bb its OK to hit the open E every once in awhile. Play them for a half measure each and then the A5 for a full measure in the verse. Enjoy
Verse 2 (same) If you turn from me You darken my sun You snap that thin thread I call my horizon And I'd like to remind you Of something small That the rock in this pocket Could cause your fall
Chorus twice
Dsus2 Instrumental for a few bars
Verse 3 (same) I might be out like a light Extinguished in the throw But I'll hit my mark And you'll know
Because I'm really well acquainted With the span of your brow And if you didn't know me then You'll know me now You'll know me now
Chorus twice and repeat last line 3 times Fade with Dsus2 instrumental
