CAPO: 4th Fret
[Verse 1]
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
[Outro]
