Standard (EADGBE)

Now I got rockin' chair money

But I got it the hard, hard way

 I fought in every battle

From the start to the VJ day

 And now I'll rock, yeah rock

 Oh baby rock, rock on down the line

Now some folks seem to be jealous

Some don't seem to care

 But I got rockin' chair money, honey

To rock on away from here

 Cause I love to rock, yeah rock

 Baby, rock, rock on down the line

I rocked away out on the ocean

I rocked from here and there

 My baby stepped out while I was gone

Now she don't get my rockin' chair

 Cause I love to rock, yeah rock

 Baby, rock, rock on down the line

I'll soon get my big check, baby

And then we'll have some fun

 This rockin' chair money, honey

Is better than totin' a gun

 Cause I love to rock, yeah rock

 Baby, rock, let's rock on down the line

Now, honey, let's go honky tonkin'

Let's honky tonk all night

 Let's lollygag and smooch and love

and do it all up right

 Cause I love to rock, yeah rock

 Baby, rock, let's rock on down the line
