On The Front Porch With You Acordes

[I find this song easier both to play and to sing in D rather than E. If you
can sing as high as Burl Ives, feel free to use a capo on the second fret, or
just transpose the chords +2 to the original key. Alternatively, you can drop
it -2 to C if you'd like to avoid bar chords altogether.]
 
[Intro]
D                     Bm
Three creaky wooden stairs
Em7                     A7
Those squeaky rocking chairs
F            Bm
The well worn welcome mat
             Em               A7
The lattice vines  The happy times.
 
[Chorus]
              D                    B7
All I want to do when the day is through
           Em
Is linger here on the front porch with you.
                A7                           Bm
From the wicker swing while the night birds sing 
                  E7                                 A7
We'll watch the fireflies sparkin', do some sparkin' too
                D                     B7
How the hou-rs fly as the moon drifts by
               Em
How sweet the air as we stare at the sky
           D
Oh, how I love to linger here like this,
                             B7      Em
hold your hand, and steal a kiss or two
         A7              D
On the front porch with you.
 
 
 
[Ideally, the chorus is repeated a second time, as your friends
and loved ones harmonize with you. You might also drop in
a C strum over the 'a' in "steal a kiss" for a very effective
D-C-B7 progression, if you're feeling fancy.]
