Baby Im Countin

G


[Verse 1]
G
Baby, I'm-a countin' every tick of 
the clock
       C
'Cause tonight at eight, on your 
door I'll knock
G
Please be ready 'cause we're gonna 
go steady
     A                       D
From here on in you'll be my best 
girlfriend


[Verse 2]
G
Baby, I'll hug, kiss and squeeze you
 tight
           C
I hope the man on the moon is 
feelin' just right
                G
He'll turn that big ol' moonlight on
 your way tonight
   D                          
He knows I'm-a hurtin' and for 
              G
certain he's right

[Verse 3]
G
Baby, I'm-a countin' every tear that
 fell
          C
'Cause it seems like I spent twenty 
years in a cell
            G
While I'm-a waiting for you, it's 
just a waste of time
        A                          
I gotta catch up on my loving 
      D
'cause I'm way behind


[Verse 4]
G
Baby, I'm-a countin' on my fingers 
and toes
          C
I got the twenty, that's a minute, 
times I'll kiss you, goodness knows
           G
I hope the man on the moon will help
 me with you tonight
          D                      
'Cause he knows I'm-a hurtin' and 
                  G
for certain he's right

[Verse 5]
G
Baby, I'm-a countin' won't you 
please understand
             C
Without your lovin', turtle dovin', 
I'm a miserable man
           G
I'm hopin' you feel the same so I 
can change your name
A                               D
Nothing would be neater than to call
 you Misses Skeeter


[Verse 6]
G
Now tell me I'm-a cookin', so 
tonight I'll go lookin'
        C
For the preacher man, about the ring
 on your hand
          G
Thank the man on the moon for such a
 wonderful night
          D                      
'Cause he knows I'm-a hurtin' and 
     G
for certain he's right
          D                      
'Cause he knows I'm-a hurtin' and 
     G
for certain he's right
