Verse 

E                                      A              E 
There's an old rockin' chair spreading memories everywhere 
                                            B7 
On that old home porch across from Tipple's store. 
        E                                     A                    E 
You can see where the wood is worn, where my granddaddy rested his arm 
                                B7                        E 
As he rocked me in that rockin' chair that don't rock no more. 

E                                    A                    E 
I was horn in a broken home, I was blinded by things gone wrong. 
                                           B7 
Had no vision of what the future held in store. 
        E                                     A       E  
Just a baby barely three, when my granddaddy came for me 
                          B7                        E       E7  
To rock me in the rockin' chair that don't rock no more. 

A E If that old rockin' chair could read, the thoughts from people's mind B7 Oh the stories it could tell time after time. E A E Stories others never hear, of the thoughts one holds so dear. B7 E Oh how I wish I coulda read my grandpa's mind.
Verse E A E Granddaddy lived the Christian way, truth and goodness he portrayed. B7 He loved to gather his thoughts as he rocked on the hardwood floor E A E And while he?s sit and rock, he paid no mind to the time on the clock. B7 E E7 And rocked me in the rockin' chair that don't rock no more.
