Simon and Garfunkle

G         C               G
A winter's day, in a deep and dark december;
Am D   C   G Am            Bm     Am               Bm
I am alone, gazing from my window to the streets below
     Am             C                D
On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow.
C      G     C       D  G
I Am A Rock, I am an island.
 
 
           G        C                  G
I've built walls, a fortress steep and mighty,
    Am D      C   G        Am              Bm
That none may penetrate. I have no need of friendship;
Am                Bm         Am                C           D
Friendship causes pain. It's laughter and it's loving I disdain.
C      G     C       D  G
I Am A Rock, I am an island.
 
 
              G              C                 G
Don't talk of love, but I've heard the words before;
     Am       D     C   G     Am                Bm         Am
It's sleeping in my memory. I won't disturb the slumber of feelings
          Bm         Am            C                D
That have died. If I never loved I never would have cried.
C      G     C       D  G
I Am A Rock, I am an island.
 
 
          G             C            G
I have my books, and my poetry to protect me;
     Am   D      C    G    Am           Bm    Am             Bm
I am shielded in my armor, hiding in my room, save within my womb.
  Am                 C              D
I touched no one and no one touches me.
C      G     C       D  G
I Am A Rock, I am an island.
 
 
      Am   D        G
And a rock feels no pain;
       Am     D     G
And an island never cries!
