Start Jamming...
Alright, so this [N] song used to be the jam when I was a kid.
And for the longest time, I thought the song was actually about fishing in the dark.
I mean, I was a kid and that was the title.
So, I mean, [C] what else was I supposed to think?
And then one day I [Eb] realized, oh, [F] okay.
So, anyway, it's still the jam and so I thought I would [G] do it.
Here we go.
[D]
There's a yellow moon coming up tonight, shining through the trees.
[G] Crickets are singing and lightning bugs are floating on the breeze.
[D] Baby, get ready.
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] Baby, get ready.
[B] You and me going fishing in the dark.
Lying on our backs, hanging down in the [G] stars where the cool grass grows.
[D] Down by the river in the full moon light.
We'll be falling in love in the middle of the night.
Just moving slow.
[G] [Em] Staying the whole [A] night through.
[Em] Feels so good to be [D] with you.
Spring is almost over and the summer's come and the days are getting long.
[G] Waiting all winter for the time to be right just to take you along.
Baby, get [D] ready.
It don't matter if we sit forever and the fish don't bite.
[G] Jump in the river and cool ourselves in the heat of the night.
Baby, [D] get ready.
[E] [D] You and me going fishing in the dark.
Lying on our backs, hanging down in the [G] stars where the cool grass grows.
[D] Down by the river in the full moon light.
We'll be falling in love in the middle of the [G] night.
Just moving slow.
[Em] Staying the whole [A] night through.
