Rocky World

G            Bm         C       
My hands are wrapped in your 
     G
raven hair
       G     Bm             C
In the faded picture on the back 
stair
        C                Bm   
We were narrow, we were steady, 
  C
trembling and ready
   C                D         G
To give it Hell in this rocky world

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

[Verse 3]
G          Bm           C       
Chicago is heavy, but I can't 
    G
turn around
    G              Bm             
I'm smuggling that whiskey, every 
C
flesh and pound
C          Bm         C
Michigan I worry, and Susie I'm 
sorry
Continues after the ad
       C              D        
That I lost you out there in the 
        G
rocky world

[Bridge 1]
          Em         Bm       
Would you build me a building a 
  C
chapel up there
       G          Bm          C
At the top of the hill in the still 
blue air
         C          Bm        C
Near the weather vane, by the track 
and train
        C               D         
I'll be looking for you in the 
   G
rocky world

[Verse 4]
G             Bm         C      
She's turning twenty and out on 
    G
the make
G            Bm              C
Pounding the blacktop with a habit 
to shake
       C            Bm            
She's looking for a manger in the 
C
eyes of a stranger
C             D                G
Down on the streets of a rocky world

[Verse 5]
G           Bm          C       
Jenny has religion, she sinks in
      G
 a chair
      G        Bm        C
She's made a decision to colour her 
hair
    C                 Bm          
The black man cut the sugar cane, 
    C
she watches the rain
     C            D              
In a building far from the rocky 
G
world

[Bridge 2]
           Em       Bm             
Yeah, I'll tell you something I'll 
C
never forget
    G           Bm       C
The sight of you in silhouette
        C          Bm        C
Outside Sault Ste. Marie you really 
threw me
         C              D     
When you pulled me down to your 
        G
rocky bed

[Verse 6]
     G          Bm  C        
In a crowded room I stood there 
       G
empty
G              Bm         C
Looking for salvation and glory be
       C              Bm         
When a shot turned my head and I saw
C
 you instead
    C    D         G
Walk into my rocky world
