INTRO: C  Em  Am  G  F  G  C  Csus4

C            Em           Am         G
Sittin' here countin' the cars goin' by
      F           G           C   Csus4 C
In an hour, musta been one or two
    C          Em          Am             G
The sheets are flappin' on mama's clothes line
        F               G          C    Csus4 C
It's an old front porch swing afternoon


I can hear music from somewhere inside
The faint sound of a Hank Williams tune
I just caught the smell of a blackberry pie
On this old front porch swing afternoon


CHORUS:
    Am  G  F                C
And ooooh, feel that breeze blowin'
     F          G           Am     G
That magnolia's showing her bloom
        F               G          C    Csus4 C
On this old front porch swing afternoon


SOLO: C  Em  Am  G  F  G  C


That old dog is layin' under grandpa's old chair
He ain't lookin' for nothin' to do
That tractor is stirrin' up dust over there
On this old front porch swing afternoon

I can see Grandma now, in old her checkered dress
Beatin' a rug with her broom
The clouds are a-churnin', comin' in from the west
On this old front porch swing afternoon


CHORUS:
And ooooh, feel that breeze blowin'
The sun will be goin' down soon
      F               G          Am     G
On an old front porch swing afternoon
        F               G          C
It's an old front porch swing afternoon
