Rocking Alone In An Old Rocking Chair Chords by Eddy Arnold

Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Follow pattern of last line in first verse*

E Sitting alone in an B old rockin' B7 chair

I saw an old mother with E silvery hair

She seemed so neglected by A those who should F♯m care

*B Rockin' alone in an B7 old rockin' E chair

E Her hands were caloused, B wrinkled and B7 old

A life of hard work was the E story they told

And I've thought of angels as A I saw her F♯m there

B Rockin' alone in an B7 old rockin' E chair

Same as intro*

E Bless her old heart do you B think she'd com B7 plain

Though life has been bitter she'd E live it again

And carry the cross that is A more than her F♯m share

B Rockin' alone in an B7 old rockin' E chair

E It wouldn't take much to B gladden her B7 heart

Just some small remembrance on E somebody's part

A letter would brighten her A empty life F♯m there

B Rockin' alone in an B7 old rockin' E chair

Same as intro*

E I know some kids in an B orphan's B7 home

Who think they owned heaven if E she was their own

They'd never be willing to A let her sit F♯m there

B Rockin' alone in an B7 old rockin' E chair

E I look at her and I B think what a B7 shame

The ones who forgot her she E loves just the same

And I think of angels as A I see her F♯m there

B Rockin' alone in an B7 old rockin' E chair

Follow pattern of last line in first verse*

D Sitting alone in an A old rockin' A7 chair

I saw an old mother with D silvery hair

She seemed so neglected by G those who should Em care

*A Rockin' alone in an A7 old rockin' D chair

D Her hands were caloused, A wrinkled and A7 old

A life of hard work was the D story they told

And I've thought of angels as G I saw her Em there
