[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
D A A7 Sitting alone in an old rocking chair D I saw an old mother with silvery hair D7 G She seemed so neglected by those who should care A D Rocking alone in an old rocking chair
[Verse 2]
D A A7 Her hands were all callused and wrinkled and old D A life of hard work was the story they told D7 G And I thought of angels as I saw her there A A7 D Rocking alone in an old rocking chair
[Verse 3]
D A A7 Bless her old heart, do you think she'd complain D Though life has been bitter she'd live it again D7 G And carry that cross that is more than her share A D Rocking alone in an old rocking chair
[Verse 4]
D A A7 It wouldn't take much just to gladden her heart D Just some small remembrance on somebody's part D7 G A letter would brighten her empty life there A D Rocking alone in an old rocking chair
[Verse 5]
D A A7 I know some youngsters in an orphans' home D Who'd think they owned heaven if she was their own D7 G They'd never be willing to let her sit there A D Rocking alone in an old rocking chair
[Verse 6]
D A A7 I look at her and I think "What a shame" D The ones who forgot her she loves just the same D7 G And I think of angels as I see her there A D Rocking alone in an old rocking chair
