Chords with lyrics

C majorC FF C majorC FF

VERSE 1
    C majorC               G+G
It was where my mama sat on that old swing with her crochet,

    A minorAm        FF        C majorC        G+G
It was where granddaddy taught me how to cuss and how to pray,

    A minorAm        E minorEm         FF         C majorC
It was where we made our own ice cream those sultry summer nights,

     DmDm         E minorEm      FF           G+G
Where the bulldog had her puppies, and us brothers had our fights,

VERSE 2
      C majorC             G+G
There were many nights I'd sit right there and look out at the stars,
    A minorAm     FF         C majorC         G+G
To the sound of a distant whippoorwill, or the hum of a passin' car,
    A minorAm        E minorEm        FF          C majorC
It was where I first got up the nerve to steal me my first kiss,
      DmDm         E minorEm       FF         G+G
and it was where I learned to play guitar and pray I had the gift,

CHORUS
       C majorC      FF     G+G       A minorAm
If the world had a front porch like we did back then,
FF               C majorC        G+G
We'd still have our problems, but we'd all be friends,
A minorAm                FF      C majorC
Treatin' your neighbor like he's your next of kin
FF         C majorC    A minorAm
wouldn't be gone, with the wind,
       FF      C majorC
if the world had a front porch
   G+G    C majorC    FF  C majorC  FF
like did back then

VERSE 3
      C majorC            G+G
Purple hulls and pintos, I've shelled more than my share,
     A minorAm     FF       C majorC        G+G
lightning bugs and crickets, Danced in the evening air,
     A minorAm        E minorEm        FF          C majorC
and like a beacon that ole' yellow moon it always lead me home,
     DmDm     E minorEm     FF         G+G
some how mama always knew, just when to leave it on,

CHORUS
       C majorC      FF     G+G       A minorAm
If the world had a front porch like we did back then,
FF               C majorC        G+G
We'd still have our problems, but we'd all be friends,
A minorAm                FF      C majorC
Treatin' your neighbor like he's your next of kin
FF         C majorC    A minorAm
wouldn't be gone, with the wind,
       FF      C majorC
if the world had a front porch
   G+G    C majorC    FF  C majorC  FF
like did back then

A minorAm                FF      C majorC
Treatin' your neighbor like he's your next of kin
FF         C majorC    A minorAm
wouldn't be gone, with the wind,
       FF      C majorC
if the world had a front porch
   G+G    C majorC    FF  C majorC  FF
