Red Rocking Chair chords by Doc Watson

Chords with lyrics

Verse:

A minorAm      C majorC
Pull back the curtain

        A minorAm
Let me see the sun

         C majorC
It's been like a long rainy day

 A minorAm     C majorC              A minorAm
I slave and I try but you grumble and you cry

    C majorC             A minorAm
And we can't live together this a-way, lawd lawd

    C majorC             A minorAm
And we can't live together this a-way

         C majorC
I set you in the shade

           A minorAm
Give you ever' dime I made

      C majorC
What can a poor boy do?

   A minorAm     C majorC            A minorAm
Yes I work every day and you throw it all away

    C majorC            A minorAm
I just can't make a living for you, lawd lawd

   C majorC            A minorAm
And I can't make a living for you

      C majorC            A minorAm
I've got no use for the red rocking chair

      C majorC
I've got no sugar, baby, now

  A minorAm        C majorC                 A minorAm
And since she's been gone (lord) I sing this lonesome song

    C majorC               A minorAm
Got no one to rock the cradle for me now, lawd lawd

    C majorC               A minorAm
Got no one to rock the cradle for me now
