Intro: C C F F C C F F
C G Am
It was where my mama sat on that old swing with her crochet,
F C C G
It was where granddaddy taught me how to cuss and how to pray,
Am Em F C
It was where we made our own ice cream those sultry summer nights,
Dm Em F G
Where the bulldog had her puppies, and us brothers had our fights,
C G
There were many nights I'd sit right there and look out
Am
at the stars,
F C C
To the sound of a distant whippoorwill, or the hum
G
of a passin' car,
Am Em F C
It was where I first got up the nerve to steal me my first kiss,
Dm Em F G
and it was where I learned to play guitar and pray I had the gift,
CHORUS:
C F G Am
If the world had a front porch like we did back then,
F C G G
We'd still have our problems, but we'd all be friends,
Am Em F C
Treatin' your neighbor like he's your next of kin
F C Am
wouldn't be gone, with the wind,
F C
if the world had a front porch
G C C F
like we did back then
C G Am
Purple hulls and pintos, I've shelled more than my share,
F C C G
lightning bugs and crickets, Danced in the evening air,
Am Em F C
and like a beacon that ole' yellow moon it always lead me home,
Dm Em F G
some how mama always knew, just when to leave it on,
CHORUS:
C F G Am
If the world had a front porch like we did back then,
F C G G
We'd still have our problems, but we'd all be friends,
Am Em F C
Treatin' your neighbor like he's your next of kin
F C Am
wouldn't be gone, with the wind,
F C
if the world had a front porch
G C
like we did back then
Am Em F C
Treatin' your neighbor like he's your next of kin
F C Am
wouldn't be gone, with the wind,
F C
if the world had a front porch
G C
like we did back then
