Bob Seger - Like A Rock
Capo on 1st fret
G
GStood there boldly sweatin' in the sun
CFelt like a million, felt like number one
FThe height of summer, I'd Cnever felt that strong
Like a Grock.
GI was eighteen, didn't have a care
CWorkin' for peanuts, not a dime to spare
FBut I was lean and Csolid everywhere
Like a Grock.
GMy hands were steady, my eyes were clear and bright
CMy walk had purpose, my steps were quick and light
FAnd I held firm to Cwhat I felt was right
Like a Grock.
GLike a rock - I was strong as I could be
Like a Crock - nothin' ever got to me
Like a Frock - I was Csomething to see
Like a Grock.
EmAnd I stood arrow straight, unencumbered by the weight
Of all these Ghustlers and their schemes
I stood prCoud, I stood tall, high above it all
I Amstill believed in my dreams.D  
[Solo]
GTwenty years now, where'd they go
CTwenty years - I don't know
FI sit and I wonder sometimesC  
where they've gGone
GAnd sometimes late at night
COh when I'm bathed in the firelight
FThe moon comes callin' a ghostly Cwhite
And I recGall, I recall.
GLike a rock - standin' arrow straight
Like a Crock - chargin' from the gate
Like a Frock - cCarryin' the weight
Like a Grock.
Like a Grock - the sun upon my skin
Like a Crock - hard against the wind
Like a Frock - I see mysCelf again
Like a Grock,
Oh, like a rock.

Bob Seger - Like A Rock

Capo on 1st fret

Stood there boldly sweatin' in the sun

Felt like a million, felt like number one

F C

The height of summer, I'd never felt that strong

Like a rock.

I was eighteen, didn't have a care

Workin' for peanuts, not a dime to spare

F C

But I was lean and solid everywhere

Like a rock.

My hands were steady, my eyes were clear and bright

My walk had purpose, my steps were quick and light

F C

And I held firm to what I felt was right

Like a rock.

Like a rock - I was strong as I could be

Like a rock - nothin' ever got to me

F C

Like a rock - I was something to see

Like a rock.

And I stood arrow straight, unencumbered by the weight

Of all these hustlers and their schemes

I stood proud, I stood tall, high above it all

Am D

I still believed in my dreams.

[Solo]

Twenty years now, where'd they go

Twenty years - I don't know

F C

I sit and I wonder sometimes

where they've gone

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.

Like a rock - standin' arrow straight

Like a rock - chargin' from the gate

F C

Like a rock - carryin' the weight

Like a rock.

Like a rock - the sun upon my skin

Like a rock - hard against the wind

F C

Like a rock - I see myself again

Like a rock,

Oh, like a rock.

[Solo]
