Knocking On Your Screen Door.
John Prine.
Album: The Tree Of Foriveness.
Capo 2.
Intro: A
D
I ain't got nobody, hanging round my doorstep,
A
Ain't got no loose change,
E
Just a hanging round my jeans,
A D
If you see somebody, would you send em' over my way,
A E A
I could use some help here, with a can of pork and beans,
D
I once had a family, but they up and left me,
A E
With nothing but an 8-track, another side of George Jones,
A D
I was in high cotton, just a banging on my six string,
A E A
A kicking at the trash can, walking skin and bone,
Chorus.
D A
I can see your back porch, if I close my eyes now,
E
I can hear the train tracks, through the laundry on the line,
A D
I'm thinking it's your business, but you don't gotta answer,
A E A D A E A Am
I'm knocking on your screen door, in the summertime,
A D
Everybody's out there, climbing on the trees now,
A E
Swinging in the breeze now, hanging on the vine,
A D
I'm dreaming about a sailboat, I don't need a fur coat,
A E A
Underneath a dashboard, got some sweet potato wine,
Chorus.
D A
I can see your back porch, if I close my eyes now,
E
I can hear the train tracks, through the laundry on the line,
A D
I'm thinking it's your business, but you don't got to answer,
A E A
I'm knocking on your screen door, in the summertime,
A E A
I'm knocking on your screen door, in the summertime.
