Rocking Chair #2 (Song For K.) Jan Hauenstein

Re(D)member that evening in the (Am7)rocking chair,(D9)(Am/E)
(G) Just me and you, the night (Gm6/E)was sweet and fair.
(D) All night long we shared that (B7)rocking chair,
A certain (E7)something in the (A7)warm night air.

(D) Awkward (D4)silence,(D) then we (Am7)talked for hours on (D9)end(Am/E)
(G) And when the night was over, (Gm6/E) we were friends,
(D) Nothing more, and that I (B7)still regret,
What a (E7)sweet affair we (A7)might have had.
(Am7) (D7) (Gj7) (Em7) (Am7) (D6)(D7)(G) (G6) (Am7) (D7)(D7/4)(D7)(Gj7) (Em7)
(Am7) (D9) (G) (E7/G#) (A7/E) (D)

You drifted away, don´t know where (Am7)you are now.(D9)(Am/E)
(G) Maybe, my dear, you still re(Gm6/E)member how
(D) All night long we shared that (B7)rocking chair,
Feeling (E7)warm, so warm in the (A7)sweet night air. - Instrumental, 2nd verse -
(Am7) (D7) (Gj7) (Em7) (Am7) (D6)(D7)(G) (G6) (Am7) (D7)(D7/4)(D7)(Gj7) (Em7)
(Am7) (D9) (G) (E7/G#) (A7/E) (D)

Sometimes when I sit and think (Am7) in that old rocking (D9)chair,(Am/E)
(G) I can almost feel us (Gm6/E) sitting there.
(D) Makes me feel a little old, makes me (B7)feel a little blue
To (E7)think of how the dice have rolled for (A7)me and (D)you.
(D7) (Gj7) (Em7) (A7) (A7b9) (D) (D2) (D4) (D)

Why no free uploads? I cover songs. Register them with the German music rights agency GEMA. They hopefully reimburse the artists. The tax authorities demand that I make (not lose) a little money each year... ... more
