ROCKING ALONE IN AN OLD ROCKING CHAIR Eddy Arnold Written by Bob Miller Chorded by Gary W, 25 Nov 2006 Note: Shown two ways. Without capo and with capo on 2nd fret. No Capo Intro: Follow pattern of last line in first verse*

^E Sitting alone in an ^B old rockin' ^B7 chair I saw an old mother with ^E silvery hair She seemed so neglected by ^A those who should ^F#m care *^B Rockin' alone in an ^B7 old rockin' ^E chair

^E Her hands were caloused, ^B wrinkled and ^B7 old A life of hard work was the ^E story they told And I've thought of angels as ^A I saw her ^F#m there ^B Rockin' alone in an ^B7 old rockin' ^E chair

Instrumental: Same as intro*

^E Bless her old heart do you ^B think she'd com ^B7 plain Though life has been bitter she'd ^E live it again And carry the cross that is ^A more than her ^F#m share ^B Rockin' alone in an ^B7 old rockin' ^E chair

^E It wouldn't take much to ^B gladden her ^B7 heart Just some small remembrance on ^E somebody's part A letter would brighten her ^A empty life ^F#m there ^B Rockin' alone in an ^B7 old rockin' ^E chair

Instrumental: Same as intro*

^E I know some kids in an ^B orphan's ^B7 home Who think they owned heaven if ^E she was their own They'd never be willing to ^A let her sit ^F#m there ^B Rockin' alone in an ^B7 old rockin' ^E chair

^E I look at her and I ^B think what a ^B7 shame The ones who forgot her she ^E loves just the same And I think of angels as ^A I see her ^F#m there ^B Rockin' alone in an ^B7 old rockin' ^E chair
