Intro: D





D

Let me say this to you

        G

I'll be steadfast and true

       D               G

And my love will never falter



    D

The sea would crash about us

    G

The waves would lash about us

     D                  G

I'll be your rock of Gibraltar



C

Sometimes it's hard

          Em

And we're both caught off guard

            G                    D

But there's nothing I would ever alter



               D

The wind could howl round our ears

        G             D

For the next thousand years

                             G

I'd still be your rock of Gibraltar

          D                  G

Yes, I'll be your rock of Gibraltar

         D                  G

Oh, I'll be your rock of Gibraltar



          D

Well, the best thing I've done

       G

Was to make you the one

        D                     G

Who I'd walk with down to the altar



         D

And you'd stand by me

      G

And together we'd be

     D                        G

That great, steady rock of Gibraltar

         D                        G

Yes, the great, steady rock of Gibraltar

        D                        G

Oh, the great, steady rock of Gibraltar



          C

Under the big yellow moon

   Em

On our honeymoon

  G                           D

I took you on a trip to Malta



    D    

And all through the night

          G

Well, You held me so tight

     D                        G

Your great, steady rock of Gibraltar

         D                        G

Oh, your great, steady rock of Gibraltar

           D                        G

Yeah, Your great, steady rock of Gibraltar



          C

Could the powers that be

Em

Ever foresee

     G                             D

That things could so utterly alter?



        D

All the plans that we laid

           G

They could soon be betrayed

  D                          G

Betrayed like the rock of Gibraltar

  D                          G

Betrayed like the rock of Gibraltar

       D                          C         D

Yes, Betrayed like the rock of Gibra - - - ltar
