[E] [B]
[C#] Happy [F#] with no titty, [E] happy [F#] here in
[C#] hibernation.
Slurping [F#] on a peach, [E] staring [F#] at the situation.
[C#] Key at [F#] my foot, [E] [F#] meowing out a
[C#] conversation.
Rocking back [F#] and forth, [E] that's [F#] my only [E] destination.
Old man on the back porch, old man on the back porch, old man on the back porch.
[F#] And that old man is [C#m] me.
Old man on the back porch, old man on the back porch, old man on the back porch.
And [F#] that [C#] [F#]

[F#m] [C#] got a two string on [F#] my lap.
[E] Total [F#] subsonic [C#] vacation.
Got chicken [F#] on the drums, [E] pounding [F#] out a perfect prescription.
[C#] Got 20 [F#] little worms, [C#m] [E] off [F#] plugins of [C#] amplification.
Got [F#] 1500 bass drum lugging, bug-eyed [E] muggings, all [F#] arriving at the [C#m] 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.
[F#] And [E] that
[C#] [F#]
[E] [F#]
[C#] [F#]
[E] Whoa, whoa, [F#]
whoa.
[C#] I'm sitting on the back porch, kicking my legs back, rocking in my rocking chair, sitting there.
[G] On the little back porch, it's about to fall apart, so I think I might repair it.
Just [E] as I'm thinking about repairing it, some little friends come along with some two string, one [G] string, no string guitars,
and they pull them all in to the back [C#] porch.
And they sit around playing [F#m] all their favorite songs, and [E] kicking back, feeling real good, real [F#] fine, real full of the wine.
[B] [C#] And everything's fine, everything's beautiful, [F#m] everything's great.
I just feel [E] so good, you know, I'm 70 years old, and [F#m] I'm slipping everything through a [C#m] straw.
Old man on the back porch, old man on the back porch, old man on the back [A] porch.
And that [G#] old man is [C#] me.
Old man [E] on the back porch, old man on the back porch, old man on the back porch.
And [F#] that
