[Intro]

[Estrofe]
              A                      D 
I ain’t got nobody hangin’ ’round my doorstep. 
             A                                    E 
Ain’t got no loose change just a-hangin’ round my jeans. 
           A                                 D 
If you see somebody, would you send ’em over my way? 
                 A        E                       A 
I could use some help here with a can of pork and beans.
[Estrofe]
             A                       D 
I once had a family, but they up and left me 
                    A                               E 
with nothin’ but an 8-track, another side of George Jones. 
              A                            D 
I was in high cotton, just a bangin’ on my six string, 
                 A         E                 A 
A-kickin’ at the trash can, walkin’ skin and bones.
[Refrão]
               D                        A 
I can see your back porch if I close my eyes now. 
               A                                       E 
I can hear the train tracks through the laundry on the line. 
                       A                              D 
I’m thinkin’ it’s your business, but you don’t got to answer 
                     A          E             A 
I’m knockin’ on your screen door in the summertime.

A    D    A    E
[Estrofe]
            A                         D 
Everybody’s out there climbin’ on the trees now, 
                A                          E 
Swingin’ in the breeze now, hanging on the vine. 
                     A                        D 
I’m dreamin’ ‘bout a sailboat. I don’t need a fur coat. 
               A         E                      A 
Underneath the dashboard, got some sweet potato wine.
[Refrão]
               D                        A 
I can see your back porch if I close my eyes now. 
               A                                       E 
I can hear the train tracks through the laundry on the line. 
                       A                              D 
I’m thinking it’s your business, but you don’t got to answer 
                     A          E             A 
I’m knockin’ on your screen door in the summertime. 
                     A          E             A     E A 
I’m knockin’ on your screen door in the summertime.
