On The Front Porch With You Tabulatur von Burl Ives (für Baryton)

E                   C#m    F#m7                    B7
Three creaky wooden stairs,  those squeaky rocking chairs
G#7                   C#m              F#m
The well worn welcome mat, the lattice vines  
          B7
The happy times.

              E                  C#7
All I want to do when the day is through 
          F#7
Is linger here on the front porch with you.
                B7                          C#m
From the wicker swing while the night birds sing
                F#7                                 B7
We'll watch the fireflies sparkin' do some sparkin' too
              E                      C#7
How the hours fly As the moon drifts by 
              F#7
How sweet the air as we stare at the sight  
          E
Oh! How I love to linger here like this 
                         Bm C#7
Hold your hand, and steal a kiss 
   F#7        B7               E
Or two on the front porch with you.

              E                  C#7
All I want to do when the day is through 
          F#7
Is linger here on the front porch with you.
                B7                          C#m
From the wicker swing while the night birds sing
                F#7                                 B7
We'll watch the fireflies sparkin' do some sparkin' too
                                         (some sparkin' too!)
              E                      C#7
How the hours fly As the moon drifts by 
              F#7
How sweet the air as we stare at the sight  
(Sung slowly)
          E
Oh! How I love to linger here like this 
                         Bm   C#7
Hold your hand, and steal a kiss 
   F#7        B7               E
Or two on the front porch with you.
