Intro 1

Verse 1
C 
G 
Sitting alone in an old rockin' chair
C 
I saw an old mother with silvery hair
She seemed so neglected by
F 
F#dim 
those who should care
G 
C 
Rockin' alone in an old rockin' chair
Her hands were calloused
G 
and wrinkled and old
C 
A life of hard work was the story they told
And I've thought of angels
F 
F#dim 
as I  saw her there
G 
Rockin' alone in an old
C 
rockin' chair

Verse 2
C 
G 
Bless her old heart do you think
she'd complain
Though life has been bitter
C 
she'd live it again
And carry the cross that
F 
F#dim 
is more than her share
G 
C 
Rockin' alone in an old rockin' chair
It wouldn't take much to
G 
gladden her heart
Just some small remembrance
C 
on somebody's part
A letter would brighten
F 
F#dim 
her empty life there
G 
C 
Rockin' alone in an old rockin' chair

Verse 3
C 
G 
I know some kids in an orphan's home
Who think they owned heaven
C 
if she was their own
They'd never be willing
F 
F#dim 
F 
to let her sit there
G 
C 
Rockin' alone in an old rockin' chair
G 
I look at her and I think what a shame
The ones who forgot her she
C 
loves just the same
F 
And I think of angels as I
F#dim 
see her there
G 
C 
Rockin' alone in an old rockin' chair
