Rock Of Gibraltar Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D](Gibraltar is [G]standing[D] alone)

[Verse 2]
That's why [D]they call me
the rock of Gibraltar
That's why they say my
heart is made of stone
So [G]don't you try to lead
me to [D]the altar
Because [E]Gibraltar [A]is
standing [D]alone

[Verse 3]
[D](Gibraltar is [G]standing [D]alone)

[Verse 4]
I've travelled all over from
[G]city light to clover
I'm [D]selling [G]brushes door [D]to door
[G]The ladies know me well
they're [D]buying what I sell
But I [E]never let `em ask for [A]any more
And I [D]never put my toes in a door
that [G]might be closin'
[D]I try to [G]use my winning [D]ways
But [G]when I know for certain
[D]the lady is a- flirtin'
I tell [E]her [A]I'll be back in
thirty [D]days

[Verse 5]
(That's why they [D]call me
the rock of Gibraltar
That's why they say my
heart is made of stone)
So [G]don't you try to lead
me to [D]the altar
Because [E]Gibraltar is [A]standing
[D]alone

[Verse 6]
[D](Yes, Gibraltar is [G]standing [D]alone)

[Verse 7]
Now when a lady rushes [G]I sell
her two more brushes
And [D]then I [G]leaver her at [D]the door
I'm [G]always thinking of
[D]the freedom that I love
`Cos I'm a man of freedom [A]to the core
So it's [D]not that I am choosy
with [G]Isabel or Susie
[D]I just like to [G]lead a happy [D]life
Give me [G]women, wine and song,
then I [D]know I can't go wrong
Un[E]til I take a [A]woman for a [D]wife

[Verse 8]
That's why [D]they call me the
rock of Gibraltar
That's why they say my
heart is made of stone
So [G]don't you try to lead
me to [D]the altar
Because [E]Gibraltar is stand[A]ing [D]alone
[Bb](Yes,Gibraltar

[Verse 9]
[Eb]is standing alone)

[Verse 10]
So it [Eb]happened one morning
[Ab]without any warning
I [Eb]knew that [Ab]I had met my doo[Eb]m
She was [Ab]pretty, she was sweet,
she [Eb]swept me off my feet
She [F]didn't even have to [Bb]buy a broom

[Verse 11]
They used [Eb]to call me the rock of Gibraltar
And now they say my heart is made of clay
But [Ab]after she had led me to [Eb]the altar
Then old [F]Gibraltar [Bb]crumbled [Eb]away

[Verse 12]
Old [F]Gibraltar took [Bb]a tumble that [Eb]day!
