Rockin Chair chords by Jerry Jeff Walker

Chords with lyrics

[Verse]

E MajorE                   A augmentedA       E MajorE
There's an old rockin' chair spreading memories everywhere
                      B7B7
On that old home porch across from Tipple's store.
    E MajorE                   A augmentedA          E MajorE
You can see where the wood is worn, where my granddaddy rested his arm
                B7B7            E MajorE
As he rocked me in that rockin' chair that don't rock no more.

E MajorE                  A augmentedA          E MajorE
I was horn in a broken home, I was blinded by things gone wrong.
                      B7B7
Had no vision of what the future held in store.
    E MajorE                   A augmentedA    E MajorE
Just a baby barely three, when my granddaddy came for me
             B7B7            E MajorE    E7E7
To rock me in the rockin' chair that don't rock no more.

[Chorus]
      A augmentedA               E MajorE
If that old rockin' chair could read, the thoughts from people's mind
                    B7B7
Oh the stories it could tell time after time.
E MajorE                 A augmentedA           E MajorE
Stories others never hear, of the thoughts one holds so dear.
            B7B7        E MajorE
Oh how I wish I coulda read my grandpa's mind.


[Verse]

E MajorE                       A augmentedA       E MajorE
Granddaddy lived the Christian way, truth and goodness he portrayed.
                               B7B7
He loved to gather his thoughts as he rocked on the hardwood floor
  E MajorE                  A augmentedA            E MajorE
And while he’s sit and rock, he paid no mind to the time on the clock.
               B7B7            E MajorE    E7E7
And rocked me in the rockin' chair that don't rock no more.


[Chorus]
      A augmentedA               E MajorE
If that old rockin' chair could read, the thoughts from people's mind
                    B7B7
Oh the stories it could tell time after time.
E MajorE                 A augmentedA           E MajorE
Stories others never hear, of the thoughts one holds so dear.
            B7B7        E MajorE
Oh how I wish I coulda read my grandpa's mind.
                B7B7            E MajorE      A augmentedA    E MajorE
As he rocked me in the rockin' chair that don't rock no more, don’t rock no more.
