Fishing in the Dark

*Standard tuning, no capo* 
 
(Verse 1) 
 
D 
Lazy yeller moon comin? up tonight shinin through the trees 
 
G 
Crickets are singing and lightning bugs are floatin on the breeze 
 
		D 
Baby get ready 
 
Cross the field where the creek turns back by the old stump row 
 
G 
I?m gonna take you to a special place that nobody knows 
 
		D 
Baby get ready 
 
A7 
Oooh Oooh 
 
 
(Chorus) 
 
D 
You and me go fishin in the dark 
 
Lyin on our backs and countin the stars 
 
		G 
Where the cool grass grows 
 
D 
Down by the river in the full moon light 
 
We?ll be fallin in love in the middle of the night 
 
	G 
Just movin slow 
 
Em                         A 
Stayin the whole night through 
 
Em                A        D 
Feels so good to be with you 
 
(Verse 2) 
 
D 
Spring is almost over and the summers comin; the days are getting long 
 
        G                                                       
I?ve waited all winter for the time to be right just to take you along 
 
           D            
Baby get ready 
 
     D 
And it don?t matter if we sit forever and the fish dont bite 
 
        G 
We?ll jump in the river and cool ourselves from the heat of the night 
 
           D 
Baby get ready 
 
A7 
Ooooh Oooh 
 
 
(Chorus 2x)  
 
Fade out
