My Tennessee Mountain Home

   C                              F
Sitting on the front porch on a summer afternoon
         C                               G                C
In a straight back chair on two legs, leaned against the wall
  C                             F
Watch the kids a playing with June bugs on a string
      C                                 G             C
And chase the glowing fireflies when evening shadows fall


[Chorus]
C                  F
In my Tennessee mountain home
C                         G7     C
Life is as peaceful as a baby's sigh
C                  F
In my Tennessee mountain home
C                          G7     C
The crickets sing in the fields nearby


[Verse 2]
    C                            F
Honeysuckle vine clings to the fence along the lane
          C                 G              C
Their fragrance makes the summer wind so sweet
    C                          F
And on a distant hilltop, an eagle spreads its wings
        C                       G       C
An a songbird on a fence post sings a melody


[Chorus]
C                  F
In my Tennessee mountain home
 C                        G7      C
Life is as peaceful as a baby's sigh
                   F
In my Tennessee mountain home
   C                  G7      C
Crickets sing in the fields nearby


[Verse 3]
   C                                           F
Walking home from church on a Sunday with the one ya' love
        C                 G7            C
Just laughing, talking, making future plans
     C                                       F
And when the folks ain't looking, you might steal a kiss or two
   C                          G7      C
Sitting in the porch swing, holding hands


[Chorus]
C                  F
In my Tennessee mountain home
C                         G7      C
Life is as peaceful as a baby's sigh
C                  F
In my Tennessee mountain home
C                      G7     C
Crickets sing in the fields nearby
