Rocking Alone (in An Old Rocking Chair) chords by The Everly Brothers

Chords with lyrics

C majorC          G7G7
Sitting alone in an old rocking chair
             C majorC
I saw an old mother with silvery hair
              FF
She seemed so neglected by those who should care
G7G7               C majorC
Rocking alone in an old rocking chair

                 G7G7
Her hands were all calloused and wrinkled and old
               C majorC
A augmentedA life of hard work were the story they told
              FF
And I thought of angels as I saw her there
G7G7               C majorC
Rocking alone in an old rocking chair

           G7G7
Bless her old heart do you think she'd complain
                 C majorC
Though life has been bitter she'd live it again
               FF
And carry that cross that is more than her share
G7G7               C majorC
Rocking alone in an old rocking chair

               G7G7
It wouldn't take much just to gladden her heart
                C majorC
Just some small remembrance on somebody's part
              FF
A augmentedA letter would brighten her empty life there
G7G7               C majorC
Rocking alone in an old rocking chair

             G7G7
I know some youngsters in an orphan's home
                 C majorC
Would think they owned heaven if she was their own
              FF
They'd never be willing to let her sit there
G7G7               C majorC
Rocking alone in an old rocking chair

          G7G7
I look at her and I think what a shame
              C majorC
The ones who forgot her she loves just the same
             FF
And I think of angels as I see her there
G7G7               C majorC
Rocking alone in an old rocking chair
