Porch Song

Try this one on the mandolin for some porch pickin';

Porch Song by Widespread Panic


Verse 1:

G
I opened up my eyes to see
  F             C               G       F  C
A land of sunny rocks and funny trees
  G
I guess (Yes,) I'm on the moon again
  F             C                G        F  C
A heavy earth exchange a lighter breeze
G
Got no coat and got no money
   F             C                     G     F  C
A pair of tennis shoes to last through May
  G
A crater for an outdoor pool
  F                C                G     F  C
A few good cats to help me pass the day

Chorus:
         G         F        C
Havin' a good time,  here today
             G         F     C
Watching the sun shine,  matinee
          F/C
Never the wrong time, time we stay
           G        F         C
Living the moontime,  time we play

Verse 2:
From here I watch the world go by
Working in the moon-time bar and grill
The word from Earth - my time is up
But here upon the moon time stands still
Got no telecommunications
Cables haven't gotten out this way
The man in the moon is a musician
That's the way we pass the lunar day

(Chorus)
Living the moontime, time to live it up!

(Have even more fun using bluegrass chop chords in replace of the standard chords)
