D                        G 
One by one we jumped the wire 
Em                     A   
With a lendin' hand to inspire 
D                       G  
Both the artist and the writer 
Em                A  
As timber fed the fire 

Em                       A  
Gently now, as the night falls.. 
D                            G 
We take our turns around the bottle 
      Em                      A 
I can tell.... by the way you smile 
Em               A              D 
That we've got a good thing.... going on 

D                        G 
Spread out along the open shore 
Em                     A   
The water's quiet as a mirror 
D                        G 
Just soft enough so we could hear 
Em                     A   
Reflections from long before 

Em                       A 
But gently now, as night falls... 
D                            G 
We take our turns around the bottle 
      Em                     A 
I can tell... by the way you smile 
Em               A              D 
That we've got a good thing... going on 

D                               G 
There were many dark and lonely days 
Em                          A   
'til you all came a running by 
D                        G 
To dry a tear from my face 
Em                             A   
Hadn't felt the fresh air in a while 

Em                       A 
Gently now, as the night falls  
D                            G 
We take our turns around the bottle 
      Em                     A 
I can tell... by the way you smile 
Em               A                   D 
That we've got... a good thing going on
