Front Porch Serenade

G

[Verse 1]
 G                   Am7
Here I stand with my hat in my hands
        Csus2      G
Want to ask out to go and see the band
          G                         Am7
Where the music is sweet and we can sway to the beat
          Csus2                 G
And I can hold you so close to me

[Verse 2]
    G                       Am7
But your mama said I had to have you home in bed
     Csus2                    G
By a half past ten if I wanna see you again
      G                                 Am7
So we don't have much time – they gonna start up at nine
      Csus2                        G
If we leave right now we're gonna be just fine

[Chorus]
   Am7                      D7
So honey won't jump into my truck
   Am7                               D7
And honey won't you kiss me once for luck
                              G        G
We're gonna have a hell of a time

[Verse 3]
       G                                   Am7
First time I saw you smile I could see you walking down the isle
     Csus2                         G
With flowers in your hair and your mama standin there
     G                             Am7
Some day you'll be my wife, be the one to share my life
      Csus2                     G
Gonna have us a child, we'll be happy all the while

[Chorus]
   Am7                      D7
So honey won't jump into my truck
   Am7                               D7
And honey won't you kiss me once for luck
                             G
We're gonna have a hell of a time
      Am7                Csus2         G
Gonna hold you close and never let you go

[Interlude]
G     Am7     Csus2     G
G     Am7     Csus2     G

[Verse 4]
      G                                    Am7
Gonna buy that little house the one you've always dreamed about
      Csus2                             G
Gonna ride the ol' porch swing, I wanna give you everything
   G                          Am7
So honey here I stand with my hat in my hands
        Csus2      G
Want to ask out to go and see the band

[Outro]
   Am7                      D7
So honey won't jump into my truck
        Am7                              D7
And hey honey won't you kiss me once for luck
                             G
We're gonna have a hell of a time
      Am7                Csus2         G
Gonna hold you close and never let you go
      Am7                Csus2         G
Gonna hold you close and never let you go
