[Intro 1]
[D][G][D][A]
[D][G][D][A][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Sitting
here in Tennessee
[G]Days as pretty as can be
[D]Singin' just to keep from
bein' [A]bored
[D]Lookin' at a clear blue sky
[G]Freight train slowly rollin' by
And [D]Porter's gone home
[A]to be with the [D]Lord
Next Saturday at 8 p .m.
They'll [G]sing some of his favorite hymns
The [D]opera boys and girls in one ac[A]cord
His [D]life we all will celebrate
And you'll [G]hear them
whisperin' backstage
Or[D]der's gone home [A]to
be with the [D]Lord
[G]Many of us watched you
on the [D]black -and -white tube
And [G]heard your records playin' back
when [A]Dolly sang with you
They [D]don't make them
like you these days
Not [G]many paid the dues you paid
They [D]don't wear rhinestone
suits much anymore
[A]They fil[D]led the Opry house that day
and [G]joyfully we heard them say
Port[D]er's gone home [A]to be with the
[D]Lord[G][A][D]
[A][D][G][D][A]
[D]
The Car[G]roll County accident,
[D]Skid Row Joe
And [G]the cold hard facts of life
are just a [A]few beyond the sun
[D]Sitting here in Tennessee,
[G]days as pretty as can be
[D]Singing just to keep from
being [A]born
[D]Lookin' at a clear blue sky,
[G]freight train slowly rollin' by
And [D]Porter's goin' home [A]to
be with the [D]Lord
Porter's goin' [A]home to be with the Lord
