Verse 1:
C
Sittin' on the front porch
     F           C
On a summer afternoon
     C
In a straightback chair on two legs
G                  C
Leaned against the wall

Watch the kids a-playin'
     F              C
With June bugs on a string
    C
And chase the glowin' fireflies
     G               C
When evenin' shadows fall

Chorus:
                F
In my Tennessee mountain home
C                        G      C
Life is as peaceful as a baby's sigh
                F
In my Tennessee mountain home
C                    G          C
Crickets sing in the fields nearby

Verse 2:
C
Honeysuckle vine clings
       F               C
To the fence along the lane
      C                   G              C
Their fragrance makes the summer wind so sweet

And on a distant hilltop
   F                 C
An eagle spreads its wings
      C
And a songbird on a fence post
G          C
Sings a melody

Chorus:
                F
In my Tennessee mountain home
C                        G      C
Life is as peaceful as a baby's sigh
                F
In my Tennessee mountain home
C                    G          C
Crickets sing in the fields nearby

Verse 3:
C
Walkin' home from church on Sunday
F                C
With the one you love
     C
Just laughin' talkin'
G             C
Makin' future plans

And when the folks ain't lookin'
          F
You might steal a kiss or two
C              G              C
Sittin' in the porch swing holdin' hands

Chorus:
                F
In my Tennessee mountain home
C                        G      C
Life is as peaceful as a baby's sigh
                F
In my Tennessee mountain home
C                    G          C
Crickets sing in the fields nearby
