[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 Eb Bb F C C#dim7 Here on this porch swing in Tupelo
