The Soul Is The Rock

(A)  (D/A)  (E/A)  (D/A)  (A)  (D/A)

The (A) soul is the (D/A) rock and the (E/A) rock will not be (A) moved (D/A) (A)
(E/A) Nothing is disputed, yet (D/A) nothing is dis(A)proved
And the seeds of the earth that were (D/A) planted long ago
Still (E/A) yield a better harvest than the (D/A) rock was prone to (A) grow

(G/A) Say what you like to do what you do, (A) everyone's sleeping now two by two
(G/A) Bats in the roof, cats in the hall, (A) dust 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)

The sea is the space which the rock has displaced
The mind is some stranger that some soul has embraced
And somewhere between, in a no-man's land of dreams
The heart becomes the soldier yet the rock is not redeemed

Say what you like to do what you can, live like a sheep, die like a lamb
Bats in the roof, cats in the hall, dust on the stairway, gnats on the wall
Big rain coming, big rain coming this way
Rain on the rock, rain on the rock, rain on the rock

The soul is the rock and the rock will always roll
In circles 'round the sun doing rings around the pole
When the mind is not sure what the heart will do next
The rock becomes the master and the road becomes what's left

Late one night when the moon shone down, we went to the mill on the edge of the town
She wore white, I wore black, the town was sleeping when we got back
Big rain coming, big rain coming this way
Rain on the rock, rain on the rock, rain on the rock

The soul is the rock and the rock will not be harmed
Though man must be cheated just as woman must be charmed
And the mind is the light for the heart which cannot see
The soul becomes the stranger but the rock will always be

Say what you like to do what you do, everyone's sleeping now two by two
Bats in the roof, cats in the hall, dust on the stairway, gnats on the wall
Big rain coming, big rain coming this way
Rain on the rock, rain on the rock, rain on the rock, rain on the rock

(Repeat 1st Verse)
And the seeds of the earth that were planted long ago
Still yield a better harvest than the rock was prone to grow
