F                     C
Katydid fiddling on a summer's eve
F                            C         G
Brown bats circle 'round the old house eaves
F               G          C    G/B  Am
I can taste the ocean on a cool salt breeze
                              F
Blowing through a torn screen door


[Verse 2]
                        G            C
Can't believe I let the summer slip away again
     F                         C       G
Like watermelon juice dripping down my chin
      F        G                C   G/B  Am
There might be light enough for one last swim
      Dm                   G
If we hurry on down to the shore
  Am         G       F
A fool would ask for more
             G       C
A fool would ask for more


[Verse 3]
F                         C
Bullfrog thrumming like a banjo string
F                              C           G
Thought I heard a whippoorwill starting to sing as
    F            G           C G/B Am
The moon spilled silver over everything
                                F
But ain't that what the moon is for


[Verse 4]
            G          C
Back porch, drunk on a jug a-red wine
F                           C          G
Picking on a tune with some friends of mine
    F              G           C     G/B   Am
The music floating up into the bottlebrush pines
Dm                   G
Ain't nobody keeping score
  Am         G       F
A fool would ask for more
             G       C       F
A fool would ask for more


[Bridge]
        C          G
I ain't restless tonight
       Bdim7       Fm7     C
I gots you and the moon so bright
           G
Hey, I'm alright
      F
I'm alright


[Verse 5]
    F                                 C
The laughter's still lingering in the evening air
                F                            C        G
We'll clean the bottles up tomorrow, they'll still be there
F            G             C  G/B Am
Turn off the lights, let's go upstairs
                        F
Careful of the creaking floor


[Verse 6]
                 G           C
Such a beautiful boy, he's a picture of peace
      F                        C            G
Let's stand here a minute just watching him sleep
F              G      C     G/B Am
God bless this little vigil we  keep
  G                  Am
A fool would ask for more
  F          G       C
A fool would ask for more
  G                  Am
A fool would ask for more
  F          Em      C
A fool would ask for more
