The Rock
By George Jones
 
C                                       F
When you wake up in the morning and you wonder
       C                                Am
Why no one's beside you where I usually lay
        C                                   F
And you think you hear the sound of distant thunder
                          C                         G7        C
Well that's just your old rock (just your old rock) a rolling away
 
C7      F
I was a rock standing strong for you
              C                       Am
For there was nothing that I wouldn't do
              C     Am             C
No matter the cost  I was ready to pay
                F
Now you say I'm only holding you down
              C                          F
Like some old rock you've been dragging around
                      C
Yes I'm just your old rock (just your old rock)
    G7              C
But now I'm rolling away
 
                  C7            F
I'm rolling away  on a downhill grade
        C                                          G7
But I'm gonna come to rest side a mountain of love someday
        C                            F
Cause I finally understand if you're resting on shifting sand
             C                            G7        C
But even the rock (even the rock) will go a rolling away
 
Tag:
                 
Honey I was your rock (just your old rock)
    G7          C
Now I'm rolling away
