E There's a little girl in our neighborhood Her name is Charlotte Johnson and she's really lookin' good I had to go and see her, so I called her on the phone I walked over to her house and this was goin' on Her brother was on the sofa, eatin' chocolate pie Her mama was in the kitchen, cuttin' chicken up to fry Her daddy was in the backyard. rollin' up a garden hose I was on the porch with Charlotte, feelin' love down to my toes Chorus: A E And we were Swingin', yeah just-a-swingin' B Little Charlotte she's as pretty as the angels when they sing A I can't believe I'm out here on her front porch in this swing E Just-A-swingin' Now, Charlotte, she's the darlin', she's the apple of my eye And when I'm on the swing with her, it makes me almost high And Charlotte is my lover, and she has been since the spring I just can't believe it started on her front porch in this swing Chorus: Just a swingin', (Swingin') well, just a-swingin' (Swingin') Little Charlotte, she's as pretty as the angels when they sing I can't believe I'm out here on her front porch in the swing Just a-swingin' (Swingin') I said, Little Charlotte, she's as pretty as the angels when they sing I can't believe I'm out here on her front porch in the swing Just a-swingin' (Swingin', swingin') You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA B E Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
