Rocky World Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
[G]My [Bm]hands are wrapped
in [C]your raven [G]hair
In the faded pic[Bm]ture on
the back [C]stair
We were narrow, [Bm]we were steady,
[C]trembling and ready
To give it hell [D]in this rocky world
[G]

[Verse 2]
You said do [Bm]I look like I could
[C]be a strong [G]mother?
And raise the good [Bm]side
of a [C]young daughter
In the hotel [Bm]Shangri La, [C]let me tell you
I've been thinking of her [D]in
this rocky world
[G]

[Verse 3]
Chicago is [Bm]heavy [G]but I
[C]can't turn [G]around
I'm smuggling that whis[Bm]key[G]
over [C]flesh and pound
Michigan I [Bm]worry and [C]Suzy I'm sorry
That I lost you out [D]there
in the rocky [G]world

[Verse 4]
Would you [Em]build me a [Bm]building,
[C]a chapel out there
At [G]the top of the [Bm]hill[G]
in [C]the still blue air
Near the weather vane,
[Bm]by the track[C] and train?
I'll be looking for you [D]in
the rocky world
[G]

[Verse 5]
She's turning [Bm]twenty,
[G]and out[C] on the mak[G]e
Pounding [Bm]the b[G]la[Bm]cktop with
a [C]habit to shake
She's looking for a [G]manger [Bm]in
the [C]eyes of a stranger
Down in the [D]streets of a rocky [G]world

[Verse 6]
[G]Jenny has re[Bm]ligion,
[G]she sin[C]ks in a cha[G]ir
She's made a de[Bm]cision to [C]color her hair
The black man cut the [G]sugar [Bm]cane
and she [C]watches the rain
In a building [D]away from the rocky [G]world

[Verse 7]
Yeah, I'll [Em]tell you something
[Bm]I'll[C] never forget
[G]The sight of [Bm]you i[G]n
the [Bm]silhou[C] ette
Outside Sault. Ste. Mar[Bm]ie,
ah you [C]really threw me
When you pulled me down [D]to your rocky bed
[G]

[Verse 8]
In a crowded room,
[Bm]I st[C]ood there em[G]pty
Looking for sal[Bm]vation an[C]d glory be
When a shot turned my [Bm]head
and I [C]saw you instead
Walking [D]into my rocky world
