Verse 1

The soul is the rock and

The rock will not be moved

Nothing is disputed,

Yet nothing is disproved

And the seeds of the earth

That were planted long ago

Still yield a better harvest

Than the rock was prone to grow
Verse 2
F

Say what you like to,

do what you do
G

Everyone's sleeping now two by two

Bats in the roof, cats in the hall

Dust on the stairway,

Big rain comin'

Big rain comin' this way

Rain on the rock

Rain on the rock
Verse 4

Rain on the rock
D

G

The sea is the space which

The rock has displaced
D

The mind is some stranger
C
G

That some soul has embraced

And somewhere between,

In a no-man's land land of dreams

The heart becomes the soldier
Verse 5

Yet the rock is not redeemed
F

Say what you like to, do what you can
G

Live like a sheep, die like a lamb

Bats in the roof, cats in the hall

The soul is the rock and

The rock will always roll

In circles 'round the sun

Doing rings around the pole

When the mind is not sure

What the heart will do next

The rock becomes the master
Verse 8

And the road becomes what's left
F

Late one night when the moon shone down
G

We went to the mill on the

edge of the town
F
G

She wore white, I wore black

The town was sleeping when we got back

Big rain comin'

Big rain comin' this way

Rain on the rock

Rain on the rock
Verse 10

Rain on the rock
D

G

The soul is the rock and

The rock will not be harmed

Though man must be cheated

Just as women must be charmed

And the mind is the light

For the heart which cannot see

The soul becomes the stranger

But the rock will always be

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

  • Well-Designed App

    Rose the Black Cat

    I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

  • Got me back into playing

    Tuliketsune

    I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

  • Secret weapon

    Brad

    Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

  • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

    Caleb Schafli

    It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
