Capo 4
GSittin on the front porch 
On a Csummer afternoon 
In a Gstraightback chair on two legs 
DLeaned against the Gwall 
Watch the kids a playin  
With CJune bugs on a string 
And Gchase the glowin fire flies 
when Devenin shadows Gfall 
In my Tennessee Cmountain home 
GLife is as peaceful as a Dbaby's Gsigh 
In my Tennessee Cmountain home 
GCrickets sing in the Dfields near Gby 
GHoneysuckle vine clings 
To the Cfence along the lane 
Their Gfragrance makes the Dsummer wind so Gsweet 
And on a distant hilltop 
An Ceagle spreads its wings 
And a Gsongbird on a fence post 
DSings a melGody 
In my Tennessee Cmountain home 
GLife is as peaceful as a Dbaby's Gsigh 
In my Tennessee Cmountain home 
GCrickets sing in the Dfields near Gby
GWalkin home from church on Sunday 
CWith the one ya love 
Just Glaughin talkin 
DMakin future Gplans 
And when the folks ain't lookin 
You might Csteal a kiss or two 
GSittin in the Dporch swing holGdin hands 
In my Tennessee Cmountain home 
GLife is as peaceful as a Dbaby's Gsigh 
In my Tennessee Cmountain home 
GCrickets sing in the Dfields near Gby
