George Jones – The Rock (Guitar)

F#
When you wake up in the mornin'

        B                   F#                         D#min  C#
And you wonder why no one's beside you where I usually lay,

        F#                                  B
And you think you hear the sound of distant thunder,

                           F#                  C#               F#
Well, that's just your old rock (just your old rock) a-rollin' away

        B
I was a rock standing strong for you.

              F#
Oh, there was nothing that I wouldn't do.

              D#min  C#               F#
No matter the cost,    I was ready to pay.

                B             
Now you say I'm only holdin' you down

              F#                         B
Like some old rock you've been draggin' around.

              F#                  C#                          F#
Yes, I'm your rock (just your old rock), but now I'm rollin' away.

             F#                B
I'm rollin' away on a downhill grade, 

        F#                                               C#
But I'm gonna come to rest 'side a mountain of love some day.

         F#                            B
'Cause I finally understand, if you're resting on shifting sands,

             F#           C#                       F#
Well, even a rock (even a rock) will go a-rollin' away.

        B
I was a rock standing strong for you.

              F#
No, there was nothing that I wouldn't do.

              D#min  C#               F#
No matter the cost,    I was ready to pay.

                B             
Now you say I'm only holdin' you down

              F#                         B
Like some old rock you've been draggin' around.

                F#                  C#                          F#   B
Yes, I was your rock (just your old rock), but now I'm rollin' away.

                  F#                  C#                      B   F# C# F#
Honey, I was your rock (just your old rock), now I'm rollin' away.
