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

D I look at her and I A think what a A7 shame 
The ones who forgot her she D loves just the same 
And I think of angels as G I see her Em there 
A Rockin' alone in an A7 old rockin' D chair
