INTRO:
D      A D  D

VERSE
      D
Well, I want a home on
     G            D
the outskirts of town
 G           D          A
Come around sundown to hear
the sound
 D
Kids and the crickets
       G       D
under pinkish skies
 G       D
Swing on by 'cause
       A          D   D
we're drinkin' tonight
      D            G
Well, in my mind, trees
          D
line the drive
            G          D
There's a kind lovin' lady
       A          D
belly laughin' inside
            D
And in the mornin' while
       G        D
we're drinkin' brew
                  G          D
She'll say, "The city ain't nothin'
          A              D   D
like the outskirts with you"

CHORUS:
      G                  D
With fireflies and some schemin',
                A             G
I'll turn this house to a home
 G                    D
That old grin in the driveway,
          A                 Bm
how your smile outdoes the dawn
 G      D           A             Bm
Hol-old on, hope is on the way-aay
       G            D
Oh, I swear-ear to God I'll take
            A             G
you to the outskirts one day
D  G D G D A D  D

VERSE:
      D
Well, I want a home on
     G            D
the outskirts of town
           G           D
Where the wind chimes sing
        A           D
to the porch swing crowd
 D                 G         D
June into August, August to May
          G           D
With the sun beatin' down,
    A           D   D
no snow in the way
     D                  G            D
The smell of fresh-cut grass in the yard
         G            D
I don't care who you are,
         A                 D
drink a fifth, bring your heart
     D
You put down a tailgate,
      G          D
I'll put down a tune
        G           D
'Cause out in the 'skirts,
             A              D   D
we move and shake with the moon
