Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am][Em][Am][Edim][A][D][Dm][G][F][Fm]
[C]Tide to my rockin' cha[F]ir all day,
[A]Till the [D]day is over,
[E]Dream [A]of the Southland far[D] away,
[Dm]and the fields of clov[F]er.[G]
[Bb]Just an old doffy [Adim]all alone,
[D]old rockin' chair's my [Ddim]prison.
[Dm]Waitin' [C]to see the promi[F]sed land,
[D]when the sun has ris[G]en.
[C]Carry me [Am]back to [Dm]green
green [G]pastures,
[C]that's where I [Am]long to be.
[Em]Carr[G]y me b[Am]ack to G[Em]reen Pas[Am] tures[Em],
[Dm]that is the place [G]for [F]me.
[C]I want to see[Am] the fiel[Dm]ds of cott[G]on,
[C]close to that [Am]swanee [Em]shore.
[G]I w[Am]ant to h[Em]ear my m[Am]ammy calli[Em]n'
[Dm]down on the cabin [G]door.[F][C]
[Em]Oh, rockin' [Am]chair just k[Em]eeps
on [Am]swingin',
[Em]rockin' me [Am]to and fr[Em]o.
[Am]Some[Em]times I [Am]hear the a[E]ngels [Am]singing,
[Em]chari[Edim]ot s a -swi[A]nging low.[D][G]
I [C]know that [Am]there's a [Dm]land of [G]brothers
wait[Am]ing for weary [Em]souls.
[G]Car[Am]ry me back to [Em]green[Am],
green [Edim]pas ture[A]s[G][Dm]
Down where the Jordan roll[C]s you
