“Knockin’ on Your Screen Door”
by John Prine
from the album The Tree of Forgiveness
[Intro]
B
[Verse]
I ain’t got noBbody hangin’ ’round my Edoorstep.
Ain’t got no Bloose change just a-hangin’ round my F#jeans.
If you see Bsomebody, would you send ’em over Emy way?
I could use some Bhelp hereF# with a can of pork and Bbeans.
[Verse]
I once had a Bfamily, but they up and Eleft me
with nothin’ but an B8-track, another side of George F#Jones.
I was in high Bcotton, just a bangin’ on my Esix string,
A-kickin’ at the Btrash can,F# walkin’ skin and Bbones.
[Chorus]
I can see your Eback porch if I close my Beyes now.
I can hear the Btrain tracks through the laundry on the F#line.
I’m thinkin’ it’s your Bbusiness, but you don’t got to Eanswer
I’m knockin’ on your Bscreen doorF# in the summertBime.
[Instrumental]
B E B F#
[Verse]
Everybody’s Bout there climbin’ on the tErees now,
Swingin’ in the Bbreeze now, hanging on the vF#ine.
I’m dreamin’ ‘bout a Bsailboat. I don’t need a Efur coat.
Underneath the Bdashboard,F# got some sweet potato Bwine.
[Chorus]
I can see your Eback porch if I close my Beyes now.
I can hear the Btrain tracks through the laundry on the F#line.
I’m thinking it’s your Bbusiness, but you don’t got to Eanswer
I’m knockin’ on your Bscreen doorF# in the summertBime.
I’m knockin’ on your Bscreen doorF# in the summertBime. F# B
