Key: C

Introduction:

C                                                 G7  
Sitting alone in an old rocking chair
                                                                  C  
I saw an old mother with silvery hair
                                                                        F  
She seemed so neglected by those who should care
G7                                                                              C  
Rocking alone in an old rocking chair
                                                                                        G7  
Her hands were all calloused and wrinkled and old
                                                                             C  
A life of hard work were the story they told
                                                                        F  
And I thought of angels as I saw her there
G7                                                                              C  
Rocking alone in an old rocking chair
                                                          G7  
Bless her old heart do you think she'd complain
                                                                                          C  
Though life has been bitter she'd live it again
                                                                             F  
And carry that cross that is more than her share
G7                                                                              C  
Rocking alone in an old rocking chair
                                                                                G7  
It wouldn't take much just to gladden her heart
                                                                                  C  
Just some small remembrance on somebody's part
                                                                          F  
A letter would brighten her empty life there
G7                                                                              C  
Rocking alone in an old rocking chair
                                                                     G7  
I know some youngsters in an orphan's home
                                                                                        C  
Would think they owned heaven if she was their own
                                                                        F  
They'd never be willing to let her sit there
G7                                                                              C  
Rocking alone in an old rocking chair
                                                     G7  
I look at her and I think what a shame
                                                                          C  
The ones who forgot her she loves just the same
                                                                  F  
And I think of angels as I see her there
G7                                                                              C  
Rocking alone in an old rocking chair
