Rockin Chair -- Tom Waits

sitting right here by my rockin chair

(one more measure, then:)

well she blew.. took all money

Notes:

The song is probably at capo 7, because sometimes

he does this:

! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

|-0---3-------------------------|

|---------------------3---------|

|---------------3/4-----------4-|

|---------2---------------0-----|

|-3-----------------------------|

|-----------------3~~-----------|

And that fits way better at the 7th capo. You

can redo it that way if you please; I'm too lazy.

The "times were never so good" part can be arpeggiated, like this:

! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

|-------------------------------|

|---------1-----------1-------1-|

|---------3---------------3-----|

|-----2-------2-----------2-----| etc., as you hear it

|-3-----------------------------|

|-----------------3-------------|

You may want to look for a better chord for the

"took all my money" bit
