*Standard tuning, no capo* 
 
(Verse 1) 
 
D 
Lazy as a 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
