Thread Name: Lyr Req: On the Front Porch (from Burl Ives)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Front Porch sung by Burl Ives
Believe it or not, most Disney songs are fairly complicated, at least from my point of view. I'm an amatuer (in every sense of the word) Ukulele player, and "On the Front Porch" is right up my alley.
There's tons of transition chords, just like every other Disney tune, like E-flat, B-flat, Dm7, Cm6, C#dim7, and such, but you can get by with 3 or 4 basics. Here's how I play it:
(C7) F
All I want to do
D7
When the day is through
G7
Is linger here on the front porch With you
C7
From the wicker swing
Dm
While the night birds sing
G7
We'll watch the fireflies sparkin'
C7
Do some sparkin' too
F
How the hours fly
D7
As the moon drifts by --
G7
How sweet the air As we stare At the sky
F
Oh! How I love to linger here like this
D7 G7
Hold your hand, and steal a kiss Or two
C7 F (C7)
On the front porch with you
Repeat
