           C
A winter's day

     F                  C
In a deep and dark December

Dm  G   F  C
^ I am alone

Dm             Em7     Dm               Em7
Gazing from my window, to the streets below

     Dm             F                G
On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow

         C     F       G   C
I am a rock... I am an is- land

           C
I've built walls

  F                 C
A fortress deep and mighty

     Dm   G   F     C
That none may pen-etrate

  Dm              Em7         Dm                Em7
I have no need of friendship, friendship causes pain

     Dm                F           G
It's laughter and it's loving I disdain

         C     F       G   C
I am a rock... I am an is- land

              C
Don't talk of love

          F                 C
Well I've heard the words before

     Dm   G         F   C
It's sleeping in my memory

  Dm                Em7         Dm                 Em7
I won't disturb the slumber, of feelings that have died

     Dm            F                G
If I never loved I never would have cried

         C     F       G   C
I am a rock... I am an is- land

          C
I have my books

       F            C
And my poetry to protect me

     Dm   G         F C
I am shielded in my armor

Dm           Em7   Dm             Em7
Hiding in my room, safe within my womb

  Dm               F              G
I touch no one and no one touches me

         C     F       G   C
I am a rock... I am an is- land

      F    G        C
And a rock feels no pain

                F      G     C
(slowing)And an island never cries

(Repeat TAB 2x; end with [C])
