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

     F                         C  
Like watermelon juice dripping 
     G

      F        G                C
There might be light enough for 
   G/B  Am
one last swim
      Dm                   G
If we hurry on down to the shore
  Am         G       F

             G       C
A fool would ask for more


[Verse 3]
F                         C
Bullfrog thrumming like a banjo 
string
F

The moon spilled silver over 
  C G/B Am
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    
Picking on a tune with some 
      G
friends of mine
    F              G         
The music floating up into the 
  C     G/B   Am
bottlebrush pines
Dm                   G
Ain't nobody keeping score
  Am         G       F

        C          G
I ain't restless tonight

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

                 G           C
Such a beautiful boy, he's a picture
 of peace
      F                       
Let's stand here a minute just 
 C            G
watching him sleep
F              G      C     G/B Am
God bless this little vigil we  keep
