	        Capo I (all chords relative) 
 
Adim = xxx999 
A+ = x0x677  
 
Note: I don't know the actual name of these 2 chords, 
 but the 1st is the one at the beginning of the song,  
and the 2nd is the one at the end of the song.  The  
one I dubbed Adim is never on any instrument other  
than the electric lead, so bear that in mind when you  
follow what I have here. 
 
P.S., anyone who knows the actual name of the two  
weird chords that I put in here for lead's sake,  
please, make a comment at the bottom and tell me...lol.   
Thanks. 
 
Intro: Adim ('A' on rhythm guitar, repeats after every  
verse except the last, and during the bridge, the rhythm  
plays 'E' instead of 'A') 
 
Verse 1: 
(NC)                   A 
Well I'm a-standin' on a rock, and I ain't goin' nowhere 
                    D 	  	  	     A 
I'm a-standin' on a rock, and I ain't gonna move 
                         	  	  	    D 
I got me somethin' to live for, I got somethin' to prove 
                    A    E                  A 
I'm a-standin' on a rock, and I ain't gonna move 
 
Verse 2: 
Well it's a hard life livin', when you're livin' on the road 
It's hard not to give in, when your bones're feelin' old 
So don't you gimme no trouble, I won't tell you no lines 
I'm believing in something and I can't stop trying 
 
Repeat Verse 1 
 
Bridge: 
D                          A 
 You may be happy flying airplanes 
D 	  	  	  A 
 Driving 'round in shiny cars 
D  	  	  	    A           F# 
 Some people always do the right thing 
B                               E  
 Some people know just who they are

Bridge 
 
Verse 1 
 
                          A    E                  A 
Well, I'm a standin' on a rock, and I ain't gonna move 
                          A    E                  D   A   A+ 
Well, I'm a standin' on a rock, and I ain't gonna move...
