Verse 1

Am            C                      Am
Pull back the curtain let me see the sun
                 C
It's been like a long rainy day
  Am          C                           Am
I slave and I try but you grumble and you cry
       C                          Am
And we can't live together this a-way Lord Lord
       C                          Am
And we can't live together this a-way

Verse 2

                 C                           Am
I set you in the shade give you every dime I made
           C
What can a poor boy do
      Am         C                        Am
Yes I work every day and you threw it all away
  C                       Am
I can't make a living for you Lord Lord
      C                       Am
And I can't make a living for you

Verse 3

            C                       Am
I've got no use for the red rocking chair
            C
I've got no sugar baby now
    Am               C                         Am
And since she's been gone I sing this lonesome song
       C                             Am
Got no one to rock the cradle for me now Lord Lord
       C                             Am
Got no one to rock the cradle for me now
