The Same Picking Pattern Gets applied to all chords where it is needed.
G
The rock of my soul went to church on sunday,
Em
The rock of my soul went to work on monday,
G
Clean across the leves by the railroad tracks,
Em
The other side of houston in a two room shack.
C
Sweeping out confetti from a third grade classroom,
Em
The rock of my soul pushed a dust mop broom.
G
The rock of my soul didn't have much luck,
Em
He came to town grinnin on a flat bed truck.
G
The rock of my soul didn't have much charm,
Em
With the lack of eductaion on a red dirt farm.
C
He was fond of disapearing on an eight day drunk,
Em
Coming Home smelling like a low down skunk.
and he said.... (Start Strum)
F Em C G
Do like I say, not like I do and you might make me proud.
F Em C G
Another Houston kid on a downhill skid for crying out loud.
(Back to Pickin)
G
I'm a first hand witness to an age old crime,
Em
A man who hits a woman isn't worth a dime.
G
5, 6, 7, 8, 9 years old,
Em
Thats what I remember about the rock of my soul.
C
I told him I would kill him if he did not stop it,
Em
But the rock of my soul just would not drop it.
F
I learned to lie like dirt,
Em C G
I could steal your shirt and , talk with a gun.
F Em C G
Another Houston kid on a downhill skid like father like son.
G
Now I got out of prison 'bout a year ago,
Em
Seven long years really went by slow.
G
I didn't kill my daddy but my momma tried,
Em
She shot him with a pistol and he like to a died.
C
I'm on probation living straight and true,
Em
and there's every indication that the past is through.
C G
That's all I know, 'bout the rock of my soul.
Repeat G, Em 5x then end.
