Verse 1

C                               F      C
Sitting on the front porch on a summer afternoon
G7                                                      C
In a straight back chair on two legs leaned against the wall
F                                              C
Watch the kids all playing with June bugs on a string
G7                                                     C
And chase the glowing fireflies as the evening shadows fall

Verse 2

F
In my Tennessee mountain home
C                        G7     C
Life is as peaceful as a baby's sigh
F
In my Tennessee mountain home
C                    G7     C
Crickets sing in the fields nearby

Verse 3

F                                              C
Honeysuckle vines cling to the fence along the way
G7                                     C
Its fragrance makes the summer wind so sweet
F                                             C
And on a distant hilltop an eagle spreads its wings
G                                         C
And a song bird on the fence post sings a melody

In my Tennessee mountain home

Life is as peaceful as a baby's sigh

Crickets sing in the fields nearby

F                                                   C
Walking home from church on Sunday with the one you love
G7                                  C
Just laughing talking making future plans
F                                                          C
And when the folks ain’t looking you might steal a kiss or two
G7                                 C
Sitting in the porch swing holding hands

Crickets sing in the fields nearby
