B>CAPO 2/b> 
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

Chorus:
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
(NC)                 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


Chorus:
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
(NC)                 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 diet
A
and I woke to a hundred mosquito bites
B7
I swear
A                            B7
got ‘em all sittin’ right there
(NC)                  E    A
in that ol' blue chair

E
There's a blue rockin’ chair
A
sittin in the sand
B7                       A
weathered by the storms and
(NC)           E  A  B7  E
well oiled hands

What are the fingerings for Esus? Don't know if I'm playing that right.....How
long have you been playing?? Since July
of last year? Man, great job on this. You're coming along real good. I wish
I started at your age. Keep up the good
work!
-debeck | 3/10/2004

-GFunderburg | 3/11/2004

-mystikal1116 | 3/11/2004
that looks like an A, unless its upside down, making it an E with the index finger on the 2nd fret

by the way, how do you play the B7?
-GFunderburg | 3/11/2004
Yes I was also waiting for someone to tab this. Thanks. Also how do you play to B7

-DVIC | 3/17/2004

-tnhonky | 12/14/2004
is this the whole song??

-poletti | 1/5/2005
Hey hows it goin? I was wondering if anyone could let me know what the strumming pattern is for the chord version of this song is...Thanks.
-XCGorbz32 | 1/22/2005
See Honky's tab for the strumming pattern/picking pattern. He did a great job tabbing it out.
-kstillman | 1/26/2005
its not Malibu and diet, its "Cruzan and diet" lyrics are on the liner notes
-jjohnsonusmc | 1/29/2005
If you are having trouble with some of the chords, you could tune your guitar down a half step and then play G, Cadd9, D. Just thought i'd point that out.
-jdorsey | 1/30/2005
Its Malibu and diet on the album I tabbed it off of. Its Cruzan and diet on the new album. Thanks anyway though.
-mystikal1116 | 1/30/2005

-chad_jarnigan | 4/4/2005
Dude's I'm pretty sure he says passed out from too much cruising and died...

-eah_06 | 4/26/2005
Nope I was wrong it is infact passed out from too much Cruzan and diet...I read it outta the book.
-eah_06 | 4/26/2005
It is Cruzan. It is refering to Cruzan rum, from St. Croix U.S. V.I. Cruzan rum is also the sponsor of the new tour. By the way this is a good tab bud. Thanks
-thurmanb | 5/23/2005
Thanks for the comment. Once again however, I tabbed this from the album "When The Sun Goes Down" where it says Malibu and diet. The album "Be As You Are" says Cruzan and diet.

It must be pretty discouraging to write a decent chord chart and have it trivialized by a bunch of morons trying to figure out the lyrics. Keep up the good work. The only part I'd watch out for is you are simplifying your chords. That E that he's playing is really an Esus4th which is why someone earlier said that your tab sucked. They're both correct, you just wrote the simpler version, which is great since most of the players on this site couldn't tell you what the 4th of a chord is. Thanks for going to all the trouble and keep on tabbing. There are those out there who need it desperatly.
-AaronG1980 | 9/23/2005
Also Chad don't correct someone unless you are right. You rewrote the chord chart exactly as the author wrote it and them you mislabeled your chords. What you wrote down for your F# is F#m which is how the author wrote it, which coincidentally is right! How about we all use the handly little feature that shows you what the chords used are and then we can call each other names.
-AaronG1980 | 9/23/2005
You can also play it down 1/2 step with the chord progression G, Cadd9, D
