[Intro]
D A G x 2
D A
Past the cotton fields in the old spring mill
D/F# G
We laid a blanket down where the world was still
D A G
Where nothin' but a quarter moon lights up the dark
D A D/F#
Just me and her, let nature work when it feels so right
G
There's no need for words
D A G
All cuddled up just listenin' to our hearts
[Chorus]
D D/F# G
And the crickets, itty bitty crickets
A D A
There ain't an other sound for miles around just listen
D D/F# G
It's quiet, real quiet
A D
When the crickets start chirpin', Lord, don't they say it all
D A
It was going great, just our third date
D/F# G
We were taken' it slow, but getting carried away
D A G
I never thought you could fall so far so soon
D A
It coulda been her eyes or the boon's farm wine
D/F# G
But either way my tongue came untied
D A G
And we both heard me say, I love you
[Chorus]
D D/F# G
Crickets, nothin' but crickets
A D A
Ain't an other sound for miles around just listen
D D/F# G
It's quiet, real quiet
A D
When the crickets start chirpin' Lord, don't they say it all
[Bridge]
A
It might been seconds, but it felt like an hour
G D
Then she gave me a kiss, said it's all worked out
A
Got momma's white dress, my grand momma's ring
G A
I know a little church, baby, what do you think?
She said, what do you think
[Solo]
D G A D A
[Chorus]
D D/F# G
It's quiet, real quiet
A D A
When the crickets start chirpin', Lord, don't they say it all
D D/F# G
Oh, crickets, itty bitty crickets
A D
When the crickets start chirpin', Lord, don't they say it all
