C
Its hung there on the front porch
G7
Its where the old men whittle
C
And the women fleece their quilts
F
Through whatever life could bring
G7
C
That old swing that old porch swing
C
It held a grieving widow
G7
And now it rocks my children
C
When they close their sleepy eyes
F
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
F
What a ballad it could sing
G7
C
That old swing that old porch swing
C
It’s where brother read the letter
G7
We knew he had to go and fight
C
But we didn’t know what for
F
And never said a thing
G7
C
In that 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
F
What a ballad it could sing
G7
C
That old swing that old porch swing
G7
