Rocky Lyrics

A              E                  A                E
Alone until my eighteenth year we met four springs ago
A               E             A                  A   
She was shy and had a fear of things she did not know
A               E             A           E   
But we got it on together in such a super way
A                    E                  A                E
We held each other close at night and traded dreams each day

Chorus
A        D                                    A
She said Rocky I've never been in love before don't know if I can do it
E                                     A
But if you let me lean on you take my hand I might get through it through it
D                              A
I said baby oh sweet baby it's love that sets us free
    E                                      D                 A
And God knows if the world should end your love is safe with me

2nd verse
A                    E                   A               E
We found an old grey house and you would not believe the way
A                     E              A              E
We worked at night to fix it up took classes in the day
A                  E            A               E
Painting walls and sipping wine sleeping on the floor
A                  E                      A                  E
With so much love with just too soon we found there'd be one more

2nd chorus
E            D                                   A
And she said Rocky I've never had a baby before, don't know if I can do it
E                              A
But if you let me lean on you, take my hand I might get through it, through it
D                               A
I said baby, oh sweet baby it's love that sets us free, 
    E                                     D                 A
and God knows if the word should end your love is safe with me.

3rd verse
A               E             A                 E
We had lots of problems then but we had lots of fun
A                  E              A               E
Like the birthday party when our baby girl turned one
A                E         A                   E
I was proud and satisfied life had so much to give
A                  E                A                    E
Till the day they told me back she didn't have long to live
E        D                               A
She said Rocky I never had to die before don't know if I can do it
4th verse
(bridge up)
B                 F#          B              F#
Now it's back to two again my little girl and I
B                F#                       B                     F#
Who looks so much like her sweet mother sometimes that makes me cry
B                 F#             B              F#
I sleep alone at nights again I walk alone each day
B                      F#                 B                      F#
And sometimes when I'm about to give in I hear her sweet voice say to me

3rd chorus
E                                         B
Rocky you know you've been alone before, you know that you can do it
F#                                       B
But if you'd like to lean on me, take my hand I'll help you through it, through it.
E                               B
I said baby, oh sweet baby it's love that sets us free
    F#                                      E                 B
And God knows if the world should end, your love is safe with me
         E                                         
She said Rocky you know you've been alone before... fade
