Old Porch Swing

Old Porch Swing
by Gene Watson
 
C                                   
Its hung there on the front porch
 
Since this old house was built
    G7                          
Its where the old men whittle
                           C       
And the women fleece their quilts
 
Its held four generations 
 
Through whatever life could bring
         G7                    C      
That old swing  that old porch swing
 
C                         
It held a grieving widow
 
When my daddy's daddy died
    G7                         
And now it rocks my children
                             C     
When they close their sleepy eyes
 
It's where I popped the question
 
With a quarter karat ring
         G7                    C     C7 
That old swing  that old porch swing 
 
    F                                 
Its been there through the sunshine 
    C                       
Its had its share of rain
       D7                           
Been a witness to some good times
     G7                    
And alike amount of pain
  C                         
If it could tell its story
 
What a ballad it could sing
         G7                    C      
That old swing  that old porch swing
 
C                                    
It's where brother read the letter 
 
That sent him off to war
   G7                            
We knew he had to go and fight
                        C    
But we didn't know what for
 
When he came home he just sat there
 
And never said a thing
        G7                    C      
In that swing  that old porch swing
 
Repeat #3
