Verse 1:
   D MajorD     A augmentedA       G+G        D MajorD
I remember the time when the bloom was on the cotton
     D MajorD         A augmentedA        B minorBm        A augmentedA
When our hearts chased the clouds like the swallows on their wings
    D MajorD         A augmentedA   G+G        D MajorD
Winter cares which we're already few or soon forgotten
   G+G       A augmentedA      |D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD D|
Just sittin' on the front porch swing

Verse 2:
    D MajorD     A augmentedA     G+G          D MajorD
Oh we sit every Sunday and watched the married ladies
    D MajorD        A augmentedA      B minorBm         A augmentedA
And we dreamed of white dresses and church bells in the spring
     D MajorD            A augmentedA         G+G        D MajorD
And they talked and painted their nails while they let us hold their babies
G+G        A augmentedA      |D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD D|
Sittin' on the front porch swing

Chorus 1:
     B minorBm     F# minorF#m     G+G        D MajorD
Where was I when the time came to join the married ladies
    B minorBm     F# minorF#m      G+G       A augmentedA
Why did I paint the nail when the finger had no ring
    B minorBm    A augmentedA     G+G         D MajorD
Why do I sit at my age and long to hold their baby
G+G        A augmentedA      |D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD D|
Sittin' on the front porch swing

Verse 3:
     D MajorD       A augmentedA       G+G    D MajorD
When the mind longs to follow but the memory erases
     D MajorD       A augmentedA       B minorBm        A augmentedA
And the lips form the words that the heart no longer sings
     D MajorD      A augmentedA         G+G        D MajorD
When the leaves in the hollow have been died to match our faces
G+G        A augmentedA      |D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD D|
Sittin' on the front porch swing

Chorus 2:
     B minorBm     F# minorF#m      G+G         D MajorD
Oh we'll dream of the time when the bloom was on the cotton
     B minorBm        F# minorF#m       G+G         A augmentedA
When our hearts chased the clouds like the swallows on their wings
    B minorBm      A augmentedA       G+G       D MajorD
But the words to the rhyme are the only things forgotten
G+G        A augmentedA      B minorBm  A augmentedA
Sittin' on the front porch swing
G+G        A augmentedA      |D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD D|
Sittin' on the front porch swing
