                  THE BALLAD OF SISSY & PORTER
                      THE WHITMORE SISTERS

CAPO: 4th FRET

INTRO:
C  C  G  F  C

VERSE:
 C
Sissy left town in the pouring rain
 F
Said she's going somewhere she can change her name
 C                         D7             G  G7
Fire in her hair a little sparkle in her eye

 C
Little did she know what would happen next
        F
'Cause Porter was as loaded as a heart check
 G
When they hit the border they were high as a kite
        F                C  C
In the middle of a hurricane


CHORUS:
N.C.            G
Golden morning Cajun nights
                         F        C
Take the highway to the northern lights
           Am                        D7          G
Where the drinks are strong and the music feels right

G7                  F
Porter baby take me by the hand
                   C
Swing me dancin' into the wind
               C                      G                     F   C
Just spinning yarn and talking 'bout places we ain't never been


VERSE:
     C
The lights on the porch burning all night long
 F
Sissy says Porter baby play my song
       C                     D7                G   G7
We're wishin' a hope like a charm against the pain

 C
Just like a storm when it's blowing in
      F
It's over just as fast as it begins
     G
And every now and then Sissy thinks about Porter
         F                    C  C
And the sound of the pourin' rain


CHORUS:
N.C.            G
Golden morning Cajun nights
                         F        C
Take the highway to the northern lights
           Am                        D7          G
Where the drinks are strong and the music feels right

G7                  F
Porter baby take me by the hand
                   C
Swing me dancin' into the wind
               C                      G                     F   C  C
Just spinning yarn and talking 'bout places we ain't never been


INSTRUMENTAL/SOLO:
G  G  F  C
Am  D7  G  G7
F  F  C  C
C  G  F  C


BREAK:
 C
Strip their every story that we like to tell
     F
Wherever Porter's living I hope he's well.
 C                             D7                       G  G7
Holdin' on to lightnin' ain't something you can do for long


VERSE:
 C
Sitting on the porch in a rocking chair
 F
Thinking 'bout the stories you'll never share
 G
Watching as the sky grows darker
         F                  C  C
And the storm keeps rolling in


CHORUS:
N.C.            G
Golden morning Cajun nights
                         F        C
Take the highway to the northern lights
           Am                        D7          G
Where the drinks are strong and the music feels right

 G7                 F
Porter baby take me by the hand
                   C          C
Swing me dancin' into the wind

          C                      G                     F   C
Spinning yarn and talking 'bout places we ain't never been

               C                      G                     F  C
Just spinning yarn and talking 'bout places we ain't never been

C  G  F  C
