[Verse]
C
Lazy yeller moon coming up tonight

Shining through the trees
F
Crickets are singing

And the lightning bugs are floating on the breeze
         C
Baby get ready

C
Cross the field where the creek turns back

By the Old Stun Road
F
I'm going to take you to a special place

That nobody knows
         C
Baby get ready

G     N.C. 
Ooooooh

[Chorus]
C
You and me going fishing in the dark
C
Lying on our backs and counting the stars
          F
Where the cool grass grows

C
Down by the river in the old moon light
         C
We’ll be falling in love in the middle of the night
     F
Just moving slow

Dm                      G
Staying the whole night through
Dm               G       C
Feels so good to be with you

[Verse]
C
Spring is almost over and the summer comin
    C
The days are getting long
     F
I've waited all winter for the time to be right
        F
Just to take you along
         C
Baby get ready

    C
And it don’t matter if we sit forever
        C
And the fish don’t bite
      F
We'll jump in the river and cool ourselves 
         F
from the heat of the night
         C
Baby get ready

G     N.C. 
Ooooooh

[Chorus]
C
You and me going fishing in the dark
C
Lying on our backs and counting the stars
          F
Where the cool grass grows

C
Down by the river in the old moon light
         C
We’ll be falling in love in the middle of the night
     F
Just moving slow

Dm                    G
Spend the whole night through
Dm               G   
Feels so good to be with

N.C.
You and me going fishing in the dark
C
Lying on our backs and counting the stars
          F
Where the cool grass grows

C
Down by river in the old moon light
         C
We’ll be falling in love in the middle of the night
     F
Just moving slow

C
You and me going fishing in the dark
C
Lying on our backs and counting the stars
          F
Where the cool grass grows

C
Down by river in the old moon light
         C
We’ll be falling in love in the middle of the night
     F
Just moving slow

[Outro]
N.C.                                C
You and me going fishing in the dark
