Nitty Gritty Dirt Band — Fishin’ In The Dark

A
Lazy Yellow moon comin' up tonite, shinin' thru the trees' 
D
Crickets are singin' and lightning bugs are floatin on the breeze 
A
Baby get ready...
A
Across the field where the creek turns back by the ole stump road 
D
I'm gonna take you to a special place that nobody knows 
A  E
Baby get ready... OooooooOooo 
 
Chorus: 
A
You and me going fishing in the dark, lying on our backs 
D
and counting the stars where the cool grass grows. 
A
Down by the river in the full moon light, we'll be fallin' 
D
in love in the middle of the night just movin' slow... 
Bm  E  Bm  E
Stayin' the whole night thru, feels so good to be with  
A
you... 
 
Verse II:
A
Spring is almost over and the summer's come and the day 
are gettin' long 
D
Waited all winter for the time to be right, just to take you along, 
A
Baby get ready...
A
And it don't matter if we sit forever and the fish don't bite, 
D
Jump in the river and cool ourselves from the heat of the night, 
A  E
Baby get ready... OoooooooOoo. 
 
A
You and me going fishing in the dark, lying on our backs 
D
and counting the stars where the cool grass grows. 
A
Down by the river in the full moon light, we'll be fallin' 
D
in love in the middle of the night just movin' slow... 
Bm  E  Bm  E
Stayin' the whole night thru, feels so good to be with  
A
you...
