Maynard's Big Front Porch by Tamarack
From: Tamarack 13
This is my first attempt at a chord chart so I hope it turns out OK.
Tamarack is one of my favorite groups and I have found no chords online for them.  Great 
folk music.
Intro:   A    D   E(x2)
Verse:
ABumping to the sawmill iDn a '57 Dodge,E  
AEase around Lake Hell and DGone and up behind the Elodge,
A/A-G#-              F#                        D  
Ring the bell and SAam will get you in his worn out 9.9,
A/A-G#-              F#                        D  
Soon you're at the Acottage in those old windblown pines
All day out at Bonfire Island we'd just hang around,
Then we'd head over to Maynard's just as soon as the sun went down,
Called his place the Red Bandanna 'cause he loved that Bobby McGee
Pass you a Golden and say, "Play that song for me"
Chorus:
               F#m                   C#m
And we'd sit on MayAnard's big front porch and we'd play our guitars
               F#m                   C#m                 D
That old ColemEan lantern was our moon, fireflies our stars
               F#m                   C#m                  D
That whEole summer out Aon Healy Lake, the un-i-verse, was ours.
Bridge:  A   D   E(x2)
The chords are the same for the rest of the song.
