Misc Originals – Bobby Clay - The Rock That Is My Roll (Guitar)

E7
I was Born in a cradle

D
Found my way to my grave

A
Gave my fast life away

E7
I Had no soul to save

E7
Left my old self behind

D
cut the head off the snake

A
Kept my flag flying high

E7
Burnt up my mistakes

E7
I see forty coming soon

D
It’s right around the bend

A
I’m a coal miners grandson

E7
But I can’t hold off the sin

D
Can you feel that fire burning

A
You hear that whistle blow

D
Can you see this life turning

A       B               E7
On this rock that is my world

E7
Well it seems I was born

D
With whiskey in my hand

A
And I’ll die a young one

E7
On the backside of our land

E7
Papaw laid the roots

D
Of a family made in shame

A
And I will be the one

E7
To carry on that name

E7
He said grandson listen clear

D
Keep the flame going

A
Your one of your daddy’s sons

E7
Your name is all your owning

D
Can you feel that fire burning

A
You hear that whistle blow

D
Can you see this life turning

A       B               E7
On this rock that is my world
