Mark Erelli - August

^FKatydid fiddling on a ^Csummer's eve ^FBrown bats circle 'round the ^Cold house ^Geaves ^FI can taste the ^Gocean on a ^Ccool ^G/Bsalt ^Ambreeze Blowing through a torn screen ^Fdoor

Can't believe I let the ^Gsummer slip a^Cway again Like ^Fwatermelon juice dripping ^Cdown my ^Gchin There ^Fmight be ^Glight enough for ^Cone ^G/Blast ^Amswim If we ^Dmhurry on down to the ^Gshore A ^Amfool would ^Gask for ^Fmore A fool would ^Gask for ^Cmore

^FBullfrog thrumming like a ^Cbanjo string ^FThought I heard a whippoorwill ^Cstarting to ^Gsing as The ^Fmoon spilled ^Gsilver over ^Cev^G/Beryt^Amhing But ain't that what the moon is ^Ffor

Back porch, ^Gdrunk on a ^Cjug a-red wine ^FPicking on a tune with some ^Cfriends of ^Gmine The ^Fmusic floating ^Gup into the ^Cbottle^G/Bbrush ^Ampines ^DmAin't nobody keeping ^Gscore A ^Amfool would ^Gask for ^Fmore A fool would ^Gask for ^Cmore ^F

I ain't ^Crestless to^Gnight I gots ^Bdim7you and the ^Fm7moon so ^Cbright Hey, I'm al^Gright I'm al^Fright

The ^Flaughter's still lingering in the ^Cevening air We'll clean the ^Fbottles up tomorrow, they'll ^Cstill be ^Gthere ^FTurn off the ^Glights, let's ^Cgo ^G/Bupst^Amairs Careful of the creaking ^Ffloor

Such a beautiful ^Gboy, he's a ^Cpicture of peace Let's ^Fstand here a minute just ^Cwatching him ^Gsleep ^FGod bless this ^Glittle ^Cvigil ^G/Bwe ^Amkeep A ^Gfool would ask for ^Ammore A ^Ffool would ^Gask for ^Cmore A ^Gfool would ask for ^Ammore A ^Ffool would ^Emask for ^Cmore
