Knockin' on Your Screen Door
John Prine

              D                      G
I ain't got nobody hangin' 'round my doorstep
             D                                    A
Ain't got no loose change just a-hangin' round my jeans
           D                                 G
If you see somebody, would you send 'em over my way?
                 D         A                      D
I could use some help here with a can of pork and beans

             D                       G
I once had a family, but they up and left me
                    D                               A
With nothin' but an 8-track, another side of George Jones
              D                            G
I was in high cotton, just a bangin' on my six string
                 D          A                D
A-kickin' at the trash can, walkin' skin and bones

               G                        D
I can see your back porch if I close my eyes now.
               D                                       A
I can hear the train tracks through the laundry on the line
                       D                              G
I'm thinkin' it's your business, but you don't got to answer
                     D           A            D
I'm knockin' on your screen door in the summertime

BREAK
D   G   D   A   D

            D                         G
Everybody's out there climbin' on the trees now
                D                          A
Swingin' in the breeze now, hanging on the vine
                     D                        G
I'm dreamin' 'bout a sailboat. I don't need a fur coat
               D          A                     D
Underneath the dashboard, got some sweet potato wine

               G                        D
I can see your back porch if I close my eyes now.
               D                                       A
I can hear the train tracks through the laundry on the line
                       D                              G
I'm thinkin' it's your business, but you don't got to answer
                     D           A            D
I'm knockin' on your screen door in the summertime
                     D           A            D     A D
I'm knockin' on your screen door in the summertime
