D  
Lazy yellow moon comin' up tonight  
                            
shinning through the trees  
G                     
Crickets are singing  
                                                
and lightning bugs are floating on the breeze  
          D      
Babay get ready  
D                                            
Across the Field where the creek turns back  
                       
by the ol' stump road  
G                                     
Im gonna take you to a special place  
                     
that nobody knows

Baby get ready ooooh ooooh  
  
(Chorus)

You and me go fishin' in the dark  
                                       
Lyin' on our backs and countin'stars

where the cool grass goes  
D                                       
down by the river in the full moonlite  
                                                     
we'll be falling in love in the middle of the night

and the fish dont bite  
G

from the heat of the night
