Front Porch
by John Hartford
Gentle On My Mind Album
Transcribed by: Verne Garrison 
Banjo tuned E, Capo 3, Key D



    D                    G              D
My front porch looks right at your back porch
                                   A
At the side of your house sits my car
     D                G          D
Your laundry hangs there by my window
                       A    D 
In the sun that shines down in our yard

    D                G         D
When I come home I see you a leaving
                                  A
When I am leaving you're just pulling in
     D                       G              D
At times I could reach out and touch you
                          A     D
But I am not even sure of your name 



I saw you last round about midnight

From the front porch you seemed so care free

Like you never could ever be happy

To live in the country with me


I came up here hunting for riches

Of fortune and fame I had heard

But too long I've stared at your back porch

And now I'm a slave to your world

When the hair on my head turns to silver

My feet and my hands old and sore

I'll prop my old chair on the front porch

And gaze at your old kitchen door
