Drop D Tuning
D D C9 C9
VERSE 1
This is the song of the rock that dreams of the mountain,
That prophesies earth and the vulnerable human eye.
I am rock and I’m all that remains,
Of Devonian fish.
BREAK TROMBONE LICKS D D C9 C9
VERSE 2
This is the song of the rock as Ningel wept for her city,
Ur falls to Babylonian swords, dynasties crumble.
I am rock and I’m all that remains,
Of Devonian fish.
CHORUS Dm C9 Am7
I am rock, and I am stone,
Fiery magma left me with only bones.
I am rock and I fear the rain,
Try to be Abel, but find only Cain,
I am rock.
VERSE 3
This is the song of the rock when we buried the apes of Olduvai,
As the Cradle of Mankind rose up, then rocked, and fell.
I am rock and I’m all that remains,
Of Devonian fish.
