Rockin' Alone in an Old Rockin' Chair Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][C]

[Verse 1]
[C]Sitting alone in an [G]old rockin' chair
I saw an old mother with [C]silvery hair
She seemed so neglected by
[F]those who should [F#dim]care
[G]Rockin' alone in an old rockin' cha[C]ir
Her hands were calloused
and [G]wrinkled and old
A life of hard work was the [C]story they told
And I've thought of angels
as [F]I saw her t[F#dim]here
[G]Rockin' alone in an old
rockin' [C]chair

[Interlude 1]
[C][G][C]

[Verse 2]
[C]Bless her old heart do you [G]think
she'd complain
Though life has been bitter
she'd [C]live it again
And carry the cross that
is [F]more than [F#dim]her share
[G]Rockin' alone in an old rockin' cha[C]ir
It wouldn't take much to
[G]gladden her heart
Just some small remembrance
on [C]somebody's part
A letter would brighten
her [F]empty life [F#dim]there
[G]Rockin' alone in an old rockin' cha[C]ir

[Interlude 2]
[C][G][C]

[Verse 3]
[C]I know some kids in a[G]n orphan's home
Who think they owned heaven
if [C]she was their own
They'd never be willing
[F]to let her sit the[F#dim]re[F]
[G]Rockin' alone in an old rockin' cha[C]ir
I look at her and I [G]think what a shame
The ones who forgot her she
[C]loves just the same
And I think of angels as [F]I
see her [F#dim]there
[G]Rockin' alone in an old rockin' [C]chair
