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
