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
