WHEN I THINK OF MY CHILDHOOD DAYS,GROWING UP IN THE SMALL TOWN USA 
                  D5                        A5                   D5
THE FONDEST OF MY MANY E MEMORIES, IS THAT FRONT PORCH ROCKING CHAIR 
    E5                  A5
AND ALL OF US CHILDREN GATHERED THERE 
                    D5                  E5
WAITING OUR TURN TO CLIMB UP ON MAMA'S KNEE 
D5                    A5                     D5  
WITH HER IMAGINATION, AROUND THE WORLD SHE' TAKE US 
         D5                         E5       D5
WITH THE STORIES OF THE PLACES SHE KNEW WE' NEVER SEE 
 
CHORUS: 
         D5                        A5
IN MAMAS ROCKING CHAIR, SHE COULD TAKE US ANYWHERE 
     E5                  A5                           A5
TO A TROPICAL ISLAND,OR SNOW COVERED MOUNTAIN, OR A DESERT CARAVAN 
                        D5                                 A5
WE SAILED THE OCEAN, WE CLIMBED THE IFLE TOWER, WE WENT A MILLION MILES AN HOUR 
            E5                    A5
WE TRAVELED EVERYWHERE, IN MAMAS ROCKING CHAIR 
A5                                  D5  
IVE GOT A WIFE AND SOME KIDS OF MY OWN 
      E5                            A5
EVERY SATURDAY MORNING THEY SIT AT HOME 
                       D5                 E5
GATHERED AROUND, THEIR EYES GLUED TO THE SCREEN 
D5                     A5
AROUND THE WORLD THEY GO, IN LIVING COLOR AND STEREO 
             D5                             E5
BUT THEY MAY NEVER GET TO KNOW, THE THRILL IMAGINATION BRINGS
