  sitting right   here    by my   rockin           chair

(one more measure, then:)

  through my    hair             (and again, until:)

       times were never  so       good

  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
