[Verse 1]
          Dm        C7/E  F
There's a porch swing in Tupelo
       C              Dm
In the shade of the south
          Bb                         F/A           Eb    Bb
Where the sweet honey drips off that old hush-your-mouth
       F    F/E     Dm7  F/C
It's a slow road on down
     Bb          F
That old Natchez trace
        A7      A7/C#    Bb/D      Eb           F   C
Through Alabama cotton fields to a state of grace
C#dim7 Dm    C7/E   F
It's a crisp golden autumn
       C         Dm
On the tennessee line
        Bb            F/A                    Eb      Bb
Rolling down the Mississippi like you headed back in time
F      F/E       Dm7    F/C
Town's closed on Sunday
     Bb        F
Everybody's in church
                  A7  A7/C#  Bb/D Eb      F
It's empty as the moon this place here on earth


[Chorus]
F                    Bb
And this place don't change
                 F
Some places move slow
                 G               G7                   C7
I'm just rocking myself on this porch swing in Tupelo
      C#dim7         Dm    F/C         Bb
I got nothing to do except hang in the breeze
              F         A7         Dm
Ghosts of the old south all around me
F/C         Bb              F
Yeah swing high, yeah swing low
             Eb              Bb     F  C  C#dim7
Here on this porch swing in Tupelo


[Verse 2]
    Dm        C7/E  F
His mama must have loved him
     C             Dm
That truck driving boy
          Bb                        F/A                Eb    Bb
With the grease monkey look and the rock and roll voice
           F    F/E        Dm7    F/C
Well i was just thinking about him
          Bb              F
Because I guess he sat here
          A7 A7/C#    Bb/D  Eb              F
Singing all praise to God through poverty's tears


[Chorus]
F                    Bb
And this place don't change
                 F
Some places move slow
                 G               G7                   C7
I'm just rocking myself on this porch swing in Tupelo
      C#dim7         Dm    F/C         Bb
I got nothing to do except hang in the breeze
              F         A7         Dm
Ghosts of the old south all around me
F/C         Bb              F
Yeah swing high, yeah swing low
             Eb              Bb     F  C  C#dim7
Here on this porch swing in Tupelo
