CAPO 2  
Intro: E  A  B7  E 

E 
There's a blue rocking chair 
A 
sittin in the sand 
E 
weathered by the storms 
B7 
and well oiled hands 
E 
It sways back and forth 
A 
with the help of the winds 
F#m       
it seems to always be there 
B7 
like an old trusty friend 
 

A 
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 
B7 
to the way that I see it 
A                              B7 
to the way that I see it when i sit 
(N/C/)                 E  A  B7  E 
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 
 

A 
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

to the way that I see it when i sit 
(N/C/)                 E 
in that ol' blue chair  
 

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