Rhythm tips ↓↑-↓↑-↓↑-↓↑

[G] [D]

A young boy needs a place to [D]sit and wait Cause she ain’t ever ready [G]for the date That girl’s daddy needs a [A]quiet spot To tell that boy the What’s, [D]and what nots

Someday soon he’s gonna [D]bring her home To sit on the swing with that [G]light bulb on He’ll reach in the pocket of his [A]old blue jeans Pull out a ring, get [D]down on one knee

That’s why God made a [G]front porch And put a little creak in the [Bm]screen door Something about the sound of a [G]G-chord Foot tapping on a [A]loose board Moon dancing behind the [G]willow tree You can hear that bullfrog clear [Bm]across the creek When that old house gets a [G]little worn [A]o|. That’s why God made a [G]front porch

Step over my old dog and [D]head to work Put in a full day ’til [G]my back hurts As fast as this world goes [A]around and ’round Everybody needs a place [D]to slow down

And as my tires hit the [D]gravel drive The summer sun’s hanging on [G]for dear life As my little angel in her [A]sun dress Sitting cross legged, on the [D]wood steps

That’s why God made a [G]front porch And put a little creak in the [Bm]screen door Something’ ’bout the sound of a [G]G-chord Foot tapping on a [A]loose board Wind chimes jangle in the [G]evening breeze You can hear that bullfrog clear [Bm]across the creek A peaceful rainfall follows a [G]thunderstorm [A] That’s why God made a [G]front porch [D]

Full moon dancing behind the [G]willow tree You can hear that bullfrog clear [Bm]across the creek When that old house gets a [G]little warm [A] That’s why God made a [G]front porch [D]

That’s why God made a [G]front porch [D]
