A rolling rock,

electric shock
E B                   A/E E       B
It gives a licking that doesn't stop
She line 'em up,
push you round
Smoking rings going round and round

A/E  E   B     E
Her hot potatoes
Will elevate you
Her bad behaviour
Will leave you standing proud
A E
Hard as a rock

Chorus:
B            E
Hard as a rock
            B
Well, it's harder than a rock
Hard as a rock
Well, it's harder than a rock

The lightnin' rod strike it hot
It's gonna hit you like the Rushmore rock
No nicotine and no pipe dreams
So low and dirty, it's down right mean

Hell elevator
Yeah, I'll see you later
No, I ain't going to take it
Yes, I'm
I'm busting out
I'm hard as a rock

Harder than a rock

Well, I'm harder than a rock

Babe, I'm harder than a rock, yeah
