Lirik Lagu I Am a Rock – Simon & Garfunkel

F# B F#

A winter’s day, in a deep and dark december;

Cmmm##7m D7  C   G Am            Bm     Am               Cm

I am alone, gazing from my window to the streets below G#m B C#

On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow.

B F# B C#7/F#

I Am A Rock, I am an island. F# B F#

I’ve built walls, a fortress steep and mighty, G#m/C#7 B F# G#m A#m

That none may penetrate. I have no need of friendship;

G#m A#m G#m B C#

Friendship causes pain. It’s laughter and it’s loving I disdain.

B F# B C#7/F#

I Am A Rock, I am an island. F# B F#

Don’t talk of love, but I’ve heard the words before; G#m C#7 B F# G#m A#m G#m

It’s sleeping in my memory. I won’t disturb the slumber of feelings A#m G#m B C#

That have died. If I never loved I never would have cried.

B F# B C#7/F#

I Am A Rock, I am an island. F# B F#

I have my books, and my poetry to protect me; G#m C#7 B F# G#m A#m G#m A#m

I am shielded in my armor, hiding in my room, save within my womb. G#m B C#

I touched no one and no one touches me.

B F# B C#7/F#

I Am A Rock, I am an island. G#m C#7 F#

And a rock feels no pain; G#m C#7 F#

And an island never cries!
