Capo 4
[G]Sittin on the front porch
On a [C]summer afternoon
In a [G]straightback chair on two legs
[D]Leaned against the [G]wall
Watch the kids a playin
With [C]June bugs on a string
And [G]chase the glowin fire flies
when [D]evenin shadows [G]fall
In my Tennessee [C]mountain home
[G]Life is as peaceful as a [D]baby's [G]sigh
In my Tennessee [C]mountain home
[G]Crickets sing in the [D]fields near [G]by
[G]Honeysuckle vine clings
To the [C]fence along the lane
Their fragrance makes the [D]summer wind so [G]sweet
And on a distant hilltop
An [C]eagle spreads its wings
And a [G]songbird on a fence post
[D]Sings a mel[G]ody
In my Tennessee [C]mountain home
[G]Life is as peaceful as a [D]baby's [G]sigh
In my Tennessee [C]mountain home
[G]Crickets sing in the [D]fields near [G]by
[G]Walkin home from church on Sunday
[C]With the one ya love
Just [G]laughin talkin
[D]Makin future [G]plans
And when the folks ain't lookin
You might [C]steal a kiss or two
[G]Sittin in the [D]porch swing hol[G]din hands
In my Tennessee [C]mountain home
[G]Life is as peaceful as a [D]baby's [G]sigh
In my Tennessee [C]mountain home
[G]Crickets sing in the [D]fields near [G]by
[G]Sittin on the front porch
On a [C]summer afternoon
In a [G]straightback chair on two legs
[D]Leaned against the [G]wall
