Biography:
Even before reaching public attention by appearing on Norah Jones' breakthrough debut album, Jesse Harris was a well regarded singer-songwriter in his own right, particularly with well received regular appearances at New York's The Living Room (the acoustic night of choice for the uber-hip alt.country folk set). The release of The Secret Sun album cemented his reputation as an artist of note.

Rocking Chairs by Jesse Harris
From his album, Sub Rosa
[Verse 1]
E6 Am6 E6
One day, we bathed in the heat and the clay
Am6 E6
And barefoot we walked far away
Am6 G#
We talked and we talked in the shade
C#m F# C#m
Someday, you said this would all blow away
F# C#m
The sun, and the moon and waves
F# B6
And taken back all that you gave
[Verse 2]
E6 Am6 E6
You knew, that nothing was something to do
Am6 E6
The sea and the sky shining blue
Am6 G#
I tried but I could not get through
[Chorus]
A Bm E7(b9)
And lately I wonder, had I been wiser then
Amaj7 G#m7
Would we be there, still there
F#m B6 E6
Like rocking chairs?
F#m B6 E6
Like rocking chairs
[Verse 3]
Am6 E6
The silence was something to see
Am6 E6
The wind pushing over the trees
Am6 G#
You taught me that nothing is free
[Chorus]
A Bm E7(b9)
And lately I wonder, had I been wiser then
Amaj7 G#m7
Would we be there, still there
F#m B6 E6
Like rocking chairs?
F#m B6 E6
Like rocking chairs
F#m B6 E6
Like rocking chairs
F#m B6 E6
Like rocking chairs
[Outro]
