Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - Fishin' in the Dark
Originally in D, I play in A capo 2
Highest note is the 5 (“stayin’ the whole night through”)
Intro, with 6ths (not swung)
A
Vox on the 5 on “lazy”, original down to the 1 on the last note in “trees”, but that’s really low in my key, so I just go down to the 3
ALazy yellow moon comin’ up tonight, shinin’ through the trees
DCrickets are singin’ and lightnin’ bugs are floatin’ on the breeze
Baby get Aready
A
AAcross the field where the creek turns back by the old stump road
DI’m gonna take you to a special place that nobody knows
Baby get Aready, Eooo, ooo
AYou and me goin’ fishin’ in the dark
Lyin’ on our backs and countin’ the stars
Where the Dcool grass grows
D
ADown by the river in the full moonlight
We’ll be fallin’ in love in the middle of the night
Just Dmovin’ slow
D
BmStayin’ the whole night tEhrough
BmFeels so good to Ebe with Ayou

ASpring is almost over and the summer’s comin’, the days are gettin’ long
DWaited all winter for the time to be right just to take you along

AIt don’t matter if we sit forever and the fish don’t bite
We’ll jDump in the river and cool ourselves from the heat of the night
Baby get Aready, Eooo ooo
