Tracy Lawrence – If The World Had A Front Porch (Guitar)

       C                             G                Am  
It was where my mama sat on that old swing with her crochet,

       F                C                C                 G
It was where granddaddy taught me how to cuss and how to pray,

       Am                Em                  F                C
It was where we made our own ice cream those sultry summer nights,

          Dm                 Em           F                   G
Where the bulldog had her puppies, and us brothers had our fights,

           C                                   G               Am
There were many nights I'd sit right there and look out at the stars, 

        F                  C                   C                G
To the sound of a distant whippoorwill, or the hum of a passin' car,

       Am                Em               F                    C
It was where I first got up  the nerve to steal me my first kiss, 

           Dm                 Em              F                 G
and it was where I learned to play guitar and pray I had the gift,

        C           F               G           Am
If the world had a front porch like we did back then,

F                   C          G              G    
We'd still have our problems, but we'd all be friends, 

Am                Em                  F            C
   Treatin' your neighbor like he's your next of kin

F             C              Am
  wouldn't be gone, with the wind,

        F           C               G           C   
if the world had a front porch like we did back then

C                              G                   Am
Purple hulls and pintos, I've shelled more than my share, 

          F         C        C                      G
lightning bugs and crickets, Danced in the evening air, 

           Am                Em               F             C
and like a beacon that ole' yellow bulb it always lead me home, 

Dm           Em                 F               G
somehow mama always knew, just when to leave it on,

        C           F               G           Am
If the world had a front porch like we did back then,

F                   C          G              G    
We'd still have our problems, but we'd all be friends, 

Am                Em                  F            C
   Treatin' your neighbor like he's your next of kin

F             C              Am
  wouldn't be gone, with the wind,

        F           C               G           C   
if the world had a front porch like we did back then

Am                Em                  F            C
   Treatin' your neighbor like he's your next of kin

F             C              Am
  wouldn't be gone, with the wind,

        F           C               G           C   
if the world had a front porch like we did back then
