CF Sitting on the front porch on a summer afternoon C G C In a straight back chair on two legs, leaned against the wall CF Watch the kids a playing with June bugs on a string C G C And chase the glowing fireflies when evening shadows fall [Chorus] CF In my Tennessee mountain home C G7C Life is as peaceful as a baby's sigh CF In my Tennessee mountain home C G7C The crickets sing in the fields nearby [Verse 2] C F Honeysuckle vine clings to the fence along the lane CG C Their fragrance makes the summer wind so sweet C F And on a distant hilltop, an eagle spreads its wings CG C An a songbird on a fence post sings a melody [Chorus] CF In my Tennessee mountain home CG7C Life is as peaceful as a baby's sigh F In my Tennessee mountain home CG7C Crickets sing in the fields nearby [Verse 3] C F Walking home from church on a Sunday with the one ya' love CG7C Just laughing, talking, making future plans C F And when the folks ain't looking, you might steal a kiss or two C G7C Sitting in the porch swing, holding hands [Chorus] CF In my Tennessee mountain home C G7C Life is as peaceful as a baby's sigh CF In my Tennessee mountain home C G7C Crickets sing in the fields nearby
