Intro
C F C G C
C G C
I'm gonna sit on the porch and pick on my old guitar
F C
I'm gonna lay on my back and laugh at my lucky star
F
And then I'm gonna fly away
C
And never come back someday
D G
Unless I thought I would land right close to where you are
C G C
Well if I thought anybody really cared I'd send back word
F C
Strapped to the leg of a trans-celestial bird
F
I wonder if I ever really did leave
C
How many would there be to grieve
D G
How would they react to the word

C G C
Well I wouldn't want to hurt a solitary soul
F C
I have still got all 6 foot 2 in control
F
But when my obligation's low
C
Is a greasy uphill road
D G
And pleasin' everybody but me is my first goal
C G C
I want to sit on the porch and pick on my old guitar
F C
And just hope your hangin' loose wherever you are
F
And for the joy you brought to me
C
This song I sung for thee
G C
While I sit on the porch and pick on my old guitar
