[B] [E] I [B] ain't got nobody hanging [E] around my doorstep.
Ain't got [B] no loose change just to hang [F#] around my jeans.
If you [B] see somebody, would you send them [E] over my way?
I could [B] use some [F#] help here with a can of [B] pork and beans.
I once had a family, but they [E] up and left me
with nothing [B] but an eight-track, [F#] another side of George Jones.
I was [B] in high cotton, just a-banging [E] on my sixth string.
A-kicking [B] at the [F#] trash can, walking [B] skin and bones.
[E] I could see your back porch if I [B] closed my eyes down.
I could hear the train tracks, you were lonely [F#] on the line.
I'm thinking [B] of your business, but you don't [E] got the answer.
I'm knocking [B] on your screen [F#] door in [B] the summertime.
[E] [B]
Everybody's [F#]
[B] out there [E] climbing on the trees now,
[B] swinging in the breeze now, [F#] hanging on the vine,
[B] dreaming about a sailboat.
[E] I don't need a fur coat.
[B] Underneath the [F#] dashboard, got some [B] sweet potato wine.
[E] I could see your back porch [B] if I closed my eyes down.
I could hear the train tracks, you [F#] were lonely on the line.
[B] I'm thinking of your business, [E] but you don't got the answer.
[B] I'm knocking on your [F#] screen door [B] in the summertime.
I'm knocking on your [F#] screen door [B] in the summertime.
