Rocking Chair Blues chords by Mipso

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:
   F                   Bb
I was born in the country and raised in the town
       F   C     Dm
I spent every Sunday wandering around
 F                    Bb
I raised lots of cane till my momma would cry
       F            Dm
She prayed my harvest would wither and die
Bb          C     F
Wither and die, Lord, wither and die


Chorus:
   Bb                     F
These slow-going highways and red-running river I choose
  Bb                    F
The song of a siren, the rhythm of nothing to lose
   C               Bb           F
Every step off the front porch is a step into rocking chair blues

Verse 2:
 F                  Bb
I went down to Oxford to find me some blues
       F    C      Dm
I measure the miles by holes in my shoes
  F                 Bb
I listen for autumn and followed the sound
       F             Dm
And left off the things that fell to the ground
Bb            C      F
Fell to the ground, Lord, fell to the ground


Chorus:
   Bb                     F
These slow-going highways and red-running river I choose
  Bb                    F
The song of a siren, the rhythm of nothing to lose
   C               Bb           F
Every step off the front porch is a step into rocking chair blues

Instrumental:

Verse 3:
Gm7                 F
If I wandered away would you call me back?
    G     C
'Cause I'm already gone
Gm                 G    Cm
I'm drifting astray and humming the highway song
   F                   Bb
I was born in the country and raised in the town
       F   C     Dm
I spent every Sunday wandering around
Bb           C     F
Wandering around, Lord, wandering around
