Back porch

 
"Back Porch" 
Chris Ballew and The Presidents of the United States of America  
(Capo on the first fret and play in C to play along with PUSA. It has a  
fast country two step rhythm, but it rocks!) 
 
C			            F	    Eb		         Eb/D/C/Bb 
Happy with no teeth, happy here in hibernation 
C			           F	     Eb		          Eb/D/C/Bb 
Slurpin' on a peach, starin' at the situation 
C		          F		   Eb		         Eb/D/C/Bb 
Kitty at my foot, meowin' out a conversation 
C			              F	     Eb		           Eb/D/C/Bb 
Rockin' back 'n' forth, that's my only destination 
 
Bb C			        Bb C		      Bb C			        Bb C 
Old man on the back porch, old man on the back porch 
Bb C			        Bb C		       Bb C	    
Old man on the back porch, and that old man is me 
Bb C			        Bb C		      Bb C			        Bb C 
Old man on the back porch, old man on the back porch 
Bb C			        Bb C				            F F Eb F# F  Eb/    
Old man on the back porch, and that..... 
 
C   F   Eb Eb/D/C/Bb 
C   F   Eb Eb/D/C/Bb 
Meeeeeeeee ow, wow, wow, wow 
(Repeat chord progression for each verse and Chorus.) 
 
Got a two string on my lap, total subsonic vacation 
Got chicken on the drums, poundin' out a perfect prescription 
Got twenty little worms, all plug into amplification 
Got fifteen hundred bass drum luggin' bug eyed monkeys 
All arriving at the station 
 
Old man on the back porch, old man on the back porch 
Old man on the back porch, and that old man is me 
Old man on the back porch, old man on the back porch 
Old man on the back porch, and that..... 
 
Me me meeeee ow whoa, whoa, whoa 
 
(Chris and Dave's part sung at the same time) 
 
Chris: 
I'm sittin' on the back porch, kickin' my legs back, rockin in my  
rockin' 
chair,Just sittin' there. On the little back porch it's about to fall  
apart 
So I think I might repair it, just as I'm thinkin about repairin' it 
Some little friends come along with some two string, one string 
No string guitars (Hey Chris wanna jam?), and they plug 
Them all into the back porch, and they sit around playing all their 
favorite songs And kickin back, feelin' real good, real fine, real full  
of 
the wine 
And everything's fine, everything's beautiful, everything's great 
And I just feel so good, you know I'm seventy years old and 
I'm slurpin' everything through a straw 
 
 
 
 
Dave: 
I'm sittin' here on the back porch just eatin' chocolate pudding  
through a 
straw 
And I heated it up on a little sterno stove, tastes just like a warm  
body 
fluid goin' down, little players comin' 'round, pluggin' in their 
instruments, feelin' good 
about Themselves, singin' original songs, by the original masters 
And I'm sittin' there on the porch, rockin' back 'n' forth in my little  
old 
chair 
 
But I'm an old man on the back porch, old man on the back porch 
Old man on the back porch, and that old man is me 
Old man on the back porch, old man on the back porch 
Old man on the back porch, and that.....F F Eb F# F  Eb/   C
