Intro: F# 

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.
