[Bm]
Across [A] the river an owl [G] was calling [F#]
[Bm] As he [A]
slowly made his [G] rounds
[F#]
[Bm] A midnight [A]
dew was softly [G] falling [F#]
On [G] the ground, [A]
on [Bm] the ground
She [A] was standing by [G] the campfire [F#]
[Bm] I watched her [A]
move into [G] the dance
[F#]
[Bm] And when she [A]
looked at me with [G] those sexy eyes
[F#]
They seemed to [G] say, boy, [A]
you ought to [Bm] take a chance
[Em] I [A] owe a woman you make [Bm] me feel it
Dancing [Em] [A]
barefoot in [Bm] the night
[Em] Moving [A]

And [G] the pale [D]
[A] moon [Bm] blunted

[F#]
I said, [G] anything really [A]
to [Bm] keep warm
[Em] I [A] owe a woman you make [Bm] me feel it
[Em] [A] Running barefoot in [Bm] the night
[Em] Standing [A]
golden by [Bm] the river
And [G] the pale [A]
[Bm] moon blunted
