OK, now I'm gonna try to put the whole song together.
[Intro]
Riff No 1 (4x)
[Verse 1]
Riff No 1 (2x)
Lazy yellow moon comin up tonight shinin through the trees
Riff No 2 (2x)
Crickets are singin and lightnin bugs are floatin on the breeze
Riff No 1 (2x)
Baby get ready
Riff No 1 (2x)
Across the field where the creek turns back by the old stump road
Riff No 2 (2x)
I'm gonna take you to a special place that nobody knows
Riff No 1 (1x)
Baby Get ready
Riff No 3 (1x)
Oooooooooooooh
[Chorus]
D
You and me goin fishin in the dark, lyin on our backs and coutin 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 A6
Stayin the whole night through
Em A6 Riff No 1 (2x)
Feels so good to be with you
[Verse 2]
(Played just like Verse 1)
Spring is almost over and the Summer's comin, the days are gettin long
Waited all Winter for the time to be right just to bring you along
Baby get ready
It don't matter if we sit forever and the fish don't bite
We'll jump in the river and cool ourselves from the heat of the night
Baby get ready
Ooooooooooooh
[Chorus]
(It's played just like the first chorus, with only one difference.
In the very end it just repeats instead of Riff No 1 starting back up.
In the original recording the chorus plays over and over until it fades
out.)
