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
