E  
There's a blue rocking chair  
A  
sittin in the sand  
E  
weathered by the storms

and well oiled hands

It sways back and forth

with the help of the winds  
F#m	  
it seems to always be there  
B7  
like an old trusty friend

I've read a lot of books  
B7  
wrote a few songs  
E  
looked at my life  
E   
where it's goin', where it's gone  
A                                      B7  
I've seen the world through a bus windshield   
                                     A  
but nothing compares to the way that I see it

in that ol' blue chair  
  
E  
From that chair I've caught  
A  
a few fish and some rays  
E  
and I've watched boats sail  
B7  
in and out of cinnamon bay  
E  
I've let go of a lover   
A  
who took a piece of my heart  
F#m  
and prayed many times for forgiveness  
B7  
and a brand-new start

B7  
to the way that I see it

That chair was my bed one new years night  
E  
when i passed out from too much Cruzan and diet  
A  
and I woke to a hundred mosquito bites  
B7  
I swear  
A                            B7  
got 'em all sittin' right there

There's a blue rockin' chair
