 G
 Stood there boldly sweatin' in the sun
 C
 Felt like a million, felt like number one
 F                         C
 The height of summer, I'd never felt that strong
        G
 Like a rock.
 
 G
 I was eighteen, didn't have a care
 C
 Workin' for peanuts, not a dime to spare
 F                  C
 But I was lean and solid everywhere
        G
 Like a rock.
 
 G
 My hands were steady, my eyes were clear and bright
 C
 My walk had purpose, my steps were quick and light
 F                  C
 And I held firm to what I felt was right
        G
 Like a rock.
 
        G
 Like a rock - I was strong as I could be
        C
 Like a rock - nothin' ever got to me
        F            C
 Like a rock - I was something to see
        G
 Like a rock.
 
       Em
 And I stood arrow straight, unencumbered by the weight
              G
 Of all these hustlers and their schemes
         C
 I stood proud, I stood tall, high above it all
   Am                   D
 I still believed in my dreams.

 G
 Twenty years now, where'd they go
 C
 Twenty years - I don't know
 F                           C              G
 I sit and I wonder sometimes where they've gone
 
     G                       C
 And sometimes late at night - oh when I'm bathed in the firelight
 F                                C
 The moon comes callin' a ghostly white
         
 And I recall, I recall.
 
        G
 Like a rock - standin' arrow straight
        C
 Like a rock - chargin' from the gate
        F      C
 Like a rock - carryin' the weight
        G
 Like a rock.
        G
 Like a rock - the sun upon my skin
        C
 Like a rock - hard against the wind
        F               C
 Like a rock - I see myself again
        G
 Like a rock,
 
 Oh, like a rock.
