*Standard tuning, no capo* 
 
(Verse 1) 
 
D5 
Lazy as a moon comin' up tonight shinin through the trees  
G5 
Crickets are singing and lightning bugs are floatin on the breeze  
            D5 
Baby get ready 
 
Cross the field where the creek turns back by the old stump row  
G5 
I'm gonna take you to a special place that nobody knows 
            D5 
Baby get ready 
 

A5 
Oooh Oooh 
  
(Chorus) 
D5 
You and me go fishin in the dark 
 
Lyin on our backs and countin the stars  
            G5 
Where the cool grass grows  
D5 
Down by the river in the full moon light 
 
We'll be fallin in love in the middle of the night  
      G5 
Just movin slow 
E5                         A5 
Stayin the whole night through  
E5                A5        D5 
Feels so good to be with you 
 
(Verse 2) 
D5 
Spring is almost over and the summers comin; the days are getting long 
        G5                                                       
I've waited all winter for the time to be right just to take you along  
           D5            
Baby get ready  
     D5 
And it don't matter if we sit forever and the fish dont bite  
        G5 
We'll jump in the river and cool ourselves from the heat of the night 
           D5 
Baby get ready  
A5 
Ooooh Oooh  
 
(Chorus 2x)  
 
Fade out
