Ok, not likely that many people will look at this file. This isn't
on any CD, I found this song on Napster, it's from a live show in
Portland. This is of course a cover of an old Simon & Garfunkel
song. The Dandys don't sing all the verses though and I think there's
something missing from the outro too, but don't start sending me
corrections for it, this is how the Dandys play it and I'm tabbing
the Dandy version, not the Simon & Garfunkel one. This really is
a great song, I even downloaded the original from Napster after
hearing this one.


When I write C* it means you play both C and Csus4.
C* means play this:
   C          (sus4)
E|-0---0-0---0-0-0--|
B|-1---1-1---1-1-1--|
G|-0---0-0---0-0-0--|
D|-2---2-2---2-3-2--|
A|-3---3-3---3-3-3--|
E|------------------|

INTRO:
------
C*


VERSE 1:
--------
           C*
A winter's day
     F               C*
In a deep and dark December;
Dm  G   F  C
 I  am alone,
Dm             G      Dm              G
Gazing from my window to the street below
     Dm             F                G
On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow


CHORUS:
-------
       C
I am a rock,
F       G   C*   Am
I am an island


VERSE 2:
--------
             C*
I have built walls,
  F                 C*
A fortress deep and mighty,
     Dm  G       F   C
That no  one can penetrate
  Dm               G           Dm                G
I have no need for friendship; friendship causes pain
     Dm                F           G
It's laughter and it's loving I disdain


CHORUS:
-------
       C
I am a rock,
F       G   C*
I am an island


VERSE 3:
--------
          C*
I have my books
    F               C*
And my poetry to protect me;
  Dm      G         F  C
I am shielded in my armor,
Dm           G     Dm             G
Hiding in my room, safe within my womb
  Dm               F              G
I touch no one and no one touches me


CHORUS:
-------
       C
I am a rock,
F       G   C
I am an island
      F    G     C
And a rock feels no pain
