Red Rocking Chair chords by Doc Watson

Verse:

Am            C
Pull back the curtain

               Am
Let me see the sun

                 C
It's been like a long rainy day

  Am          C                           Am
I slave and I try but you grumble and you cry

       C                          Am
And we can't live together this a-way, lawd lawd

       C                          Am
And we can't live together this a-way

                 C
I set you in the shade

                      Am
Give you ever' dime I made

           C
What can a poor boy do?

      Am         C                        Am
Yes I work every day and you throw it all away

       C                       Am
I just can't make a living for you, lawd lawd

      C                       Am
And I can't make a living for you

            C                       Am
I've got no use for the red rocking chair

            C
I've got no sugar, baby, now

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

       C                             Am
Got no one to rock the cradle for me now, lawd lawd

       C                             Am
Got no one to rock the cradle for me now
