Fishin’ in the dark (1987) (video) (midi)

D ~ ~ D

1. Lazy yellow moon comin' up tonight shinin' through the trees,

G

the crickets are singin' and lightin' bugs are floatin’ on the breeze,

D ~

baby, get ready !

D

Across the field where the creek turns back by the old stump road,

G

I'm gonna take you to a special place that nobody knows,

D A

baby, get ready, uh !

D

You and me goin’ fishin' in the dark,

D G

lyin' on our backs and countin' the stars, where the cool grass grows.

D

Down by the river in the full moonlight,

D G

we'll be fallin' in love in the middle of the night, just movin' slow,

Em A Em A D

spend the whole night through, feels so good to be with you.

2. Spring is almost over and summer's comin', the days are gettin' long,

G

I’ve waited all winter for the time to be right to take you along,

D ~

baby, get ready.

D

And it don’t matter I we sit forever and the fish don't bite,

G

we'll jump in the river and cool ourselves from the heat of the night,

D A

baby, get ready, uh ! + CHORUS + CHORUS (lines 1 - 4)
