[Intro]
A D/A E/A D/A A D/A
[Verse 1]
The Asoul is the D/Arock and the E/Arock will not be Amoved D/A A
E/ANothing is disputed, yet D/Anothing is disAproved
And the seeds of the earth that were D/Aplanted long ago
Still E/Ayield a better harvest than the D/Arock was prone to Agrow
[Chorus]
G/ASay what you like to do what you do, Aeveryone's sleeping now two by two
G/ABats in the roof, cats in the hall, Adust on the stairway, gnats on the wall E
Big rain coming, big rain coming this way
Rain on the rock, rain on the rock, rain on the rock E7
[Verse 2]
The Asea is the sD/Apace which the E/Arock has disAplaced D/A A
The E/Amind is some D/Astranger that some Asoul has embraced
And somewhere between, in a D/Ano-man's land of dreams
The E/Aheart becomes the soldier yet the D/Arock is not reAdeemed
[Chorus]
G/ASay what you like to do what you do, Aeveryone's sleeping now two by two
G/ABats in the roof, cats in the hall, Adust on the stairway, gnats on the wall E
Big rain coming, big rain coming this way
Rain on the rock, rain on the rock, rain on the rock E7
[Verse 3]
The Asoul is the D/Arock and the E/Arock will always Aroll D/A A
In E/Acircles 'round the sun doing D/Arings around the Apole
When the mind is not sure what the D/Aheart will do next
The E/Arock becomes the master and the D/Aroad becomes what's Aleft
[Chorus]
G/ASay what you like to do what you do, Aeveryone's sleeping now two by two
G/ABats in the roof, cats in the hall, Adust on the stairway, gnats on the wall E
Big rain coming, big rain coming this way
Rain on the rock, rain on the rock, rain on the rock E7
[Verse 4]
The Asoul is the D/Arock and the E/Arock will not be Aharmed D/A A
Though E/Aman must be cheated just as D/Awoman must be Acharmed
And the mind is the light for the D/Aheart which cannot see
The E/Asoul becomes the stranger but the D/Arock will always Abe
[Chorus]
G/ASay what you like to do what you do, Aeveryone's sleeping now two by two
G/ABats in the roof, cats in the hall, Adust on the stairway, gnats on the wall E
Big rain coming, big rain coming this way
Rain on the rock, rain on the rock, rain on the rock E7
[Verse 1]
The Asoul is the D/Arock and the E/Arock will not be Amoved D/A A
E/ANothing is disputed, yet D/Anothing is disAproved
And the seeds of the earth that were D/Aplanted long ago
Still E/Ayield a better harvest than the D/Arock was prone to Agrow
[Outro]
And the seeds of the earth that were planted long ago
Still E/Ayield a better harvest than the D/Arock was prone to Agrow
