[Intro]
Eb Bb F
Eb Bb F C C#dim7
[Verse 1]
Dm C7/E F
There's a porch swing in Tupelo
C Dm
In the shade of the south
Bb F/A Eb Bb
Where the sweet honey drips off that old hush-your-mouth
F F/E Dm7 F/C
It's a slow road on down
Bb F
That old Natchez trace
A7 A7/C# Bb/D Eb F C
Through Alabama cotton fields to a state of grace
C#dim7 Dm C7/E F
It's a crisp golden autumn
C Dm
On the tennessee line
Bb F/A Eb Bb
Rolling down the Mississippi like you headed back in time
F F/E Dm7 F/C
Town's closed on Sunday
Bb F
Everybody's in church
A7 A7/C# Bb/D Eb F
It's empty as the moon this place here on earth
[Chorus]
F Bb
And this place don't change
F
Some places move slow
G G7 C7
I'm just rocking myself on this porch swing in Tupelo
C#dim7 Dm F/C Bb
I got nothing to do except hang in the breeze
F A7 Dm
Ghosts of the old south all around me
F/C Bb F
Yeah swing high, yeah swing low
Eb Bb F C C#dim7
Here on this porch swing in Tupelo
[Verse 2]
Dm C7/E F
His mama must have loved him
C Dm
That truck driving boy
Bb F/A Eb Bb
With the grease monkey look and the rock and roll voice
F F/E Dm7 F/C
Well i was just thinking about him
Bb F
Because I guess he sat here
A7 A7/C# Bb/D Eb F
Singing all praise to God through poverty's tears
[Chorus]
F Bb
And this place don't change
F
Some places move slow
G G7 C7
I'm just rocking myself on this porch swing in Tupelo
C#dim7 Dm F/C Bb
I got nothing to do except hang in the breeze
F A7 Dm
Ghosts of the old south all around me
F/C Bb F
Yeah swing high, yeah swing low

Here on this porch swing in Tupelo
