If The World Had A Front Porch Chords

C F C F VERSE 1 C G It was where my mama sat on that old swing with her crochet, Am F C G It was where granddaddy taught me how to cuss and how to pray, Am Em F C It was where we made our own ice cream those sultry summer nights, Dm Em F G Where the bulldog had her puppies, and us brothers had our fights, VERSE 2 C G There were many nights I'd sit right there and look out at the stars, Am F C G To the sound of a distant whippoorwill, or the hum of a passin' car, Am Em F C It was where I first got up the nerve to steal me my first kiss, Dm Em F G and it was where I learned to play guitar and pray I had the gift,

CHORUS C F G Am If the world had a front porch like we did back then, F C G We'd still have our problems, but we'd all be friends, Am F C Treatin' your neighbor like he's your next of kin F C Am wouldn't be gone, with the wind, F C if the world had a front porch G C F C F like did back then VERSE 3 C G Purple hulls and pintos, I've shelled more than my share, Am F C G lightning bugs and crickets, Danced in the evening air, Am Em F C and like a beacon that ole' yellow moon it always lead me home, Dm Em F G some how mama always knew, just when to leave it on, CHORUS C F G Am If the world had a front porch like we did back then, F C G We'd still have our problems, but we'd all be friends, Am F C Treatin' your neighbor like he's your next of kin F C Am wouldn't be gone, with the wind, F C if the world had a front porch G C F C F like did back then Am F C Treatin' your neighbor like he's your next of kin F C Am wouldn't be gone, with the wind, F C if the world had a front porch G C F C F
