The Rock
By George Jones
C F
When you wake up in the morning and you wonder
C Am
Why no one's beside you where I usually lay
C F
And you think you hear the sound of distant thunder
C G7 C
Well that's just your old rock just your old rock a rolling away
C7 F
I was a rock standing strong for you
C Am
For there was nothing that I wouldn't do
C Am C
No matter the cost I was ready to pay
F
Now you say I'm only holding you down
C F
Like some old rock you've been dragging around
C
Yes I'm just your old rock just your old rock
G7 C
But now I'm rolling away
C7 F
I'm rolling away on a downhill grade
C G7
But I'm gonna come to rest side a mountain of love someday
C F
Cause I finally understand if you're resting on shifting sand
C G7 C
But even the rock even the rock will go a rolling away
Tag:
Honey I was your rock just your old rock
G7 C
Now I'm rolling away
