Front Porch Chords

[Intro]
C
 
 
[Verse I]
       F              C
In the morning she is dancin' in the kitchen
       F                C
To the music on the radio
          Dm7                 C
With the windows open and the curtains wide
      Am                     D
She's singin' every word she knows
     F                         C
And out in the street with the heat comin' down
      F7          G          Am
The boys are busy fallin' in love
            C                       Dm7
And the girls walk by with their backs up
            F                   G           C
Wonderin' what the hell they're thinkin' of
 
 
[Verse II]
           F                       C
Oh the kids on the corner, they're kickin' up dust
           F                  C
It must be somethin' to be so bored
         Dm7               C
Last week some punk beat a window out
             Am                          D
It's got the neighbours lockin' up their doors
            F                        C
And all the weekend workers, they're walkin' to work
     F7             G       Am
Like nothin's gonna get them down
C                  Dm7
Maybe it will, and maybe it won't
               F                 G             C
But they'll be damned if they'll be sittin' around
 
 
[Chorus]
                           F                            C7
And you can find me on the front porch, sippin' my tea, wonderin' if anyone is lookin' at me
F                                           C7
Every day, it's the same old thing, there's nothing much happenin'
F                                    C7
Soon I'm gonna pack my suitcase, and I'm gonna hit the road
               F                                         C7
Well if you're walkin' around and you see my face, be sure to stop and say hello
Dm7                                   G7
Little bird, won't you carry me, I'm up with the sun every day of the week
       C                                     F
And it hits me like a kiss on the cheek and rolls me like a stone?
    Dm7   Am      G7       C       F
Hoo hoo   hoo-hoo hoo, hoo hoo-hoo hoo

[Verse III]
           F    C              F                     C
Now it's a lazy evenin', daydreamin' that I'm on the run
        Dm7                        C
And I'm runnin' with my lover, and when we duck for cover
    E7                    F
She tells me I'm the only one
    Am               G
And oh, how my heart skips a beat
            F            C
How could a lady of mine be so sweet
    Am              D7
She nearly swept me off my feet
              E7                 F
You've got to hand it to my imagination
 
 
[Chorus]
                            F                            C7
Cuz I'm just sittin' on the front porch, sippin' my tea, wonderin' if anyone is lookin' at me
F                                           C7
Every day, it's the same old thing, there's nothing much happenin'
    F                                C7
Soon I'm gonna pack my suitcase, and I'm gonna hit the road
               F                                          C7
Well if you're walkin' around and you see my face, be sure to stop and say hello
Dm7                                    G7
Little bird, won't you carry me, I'm up with the sun every day of the week
       C                                     F
And it hits me like a kiss on the cheek and rolls me like a stone
 
    Dm7   Am      G    G   C       F
Hoo hoo   hoo-hoo hoo, hoo hoo-hoo hoo
    Dm7   Am      G    G   F       C
Hoo hoo   hoo-hoo hoo, hoo hoo-hoo hoo
