Intro:

E D E D A
E D A D


Verse 1:
        E
I was a six pack and county road
         Bm
You were Boones Farm and a pack of smokes
D
Striking up more than matches
       E
On the dark side of creek
E

Too wild to say we shouldn't
Bm
Too free to say we couldn't
D
Toes in the clay going all way
     A
Just turning up the heat


Chorus:
            E
Down in the Bayou
                   Bm
Crickets in a July sky moon
                         D
Spotlight shining on the night moves
D
Made in the dark
A                 D
Black water soul, kudzu heart
        E
Getting tangled up
                             Bm
Fetch a little love till the sun comes up
                            D            A
No place I'd rather be than waking up by you
       D        E   D A E  D A E  C D
In the Bayou by you


Verse 2:
E
Our hearts truth be told
Bm
They were meant for growing old
         D
But it's hard to lock it down
            A
When you're acting a fool
E
I heard you were headed back south
Bm
After leaving home with all your doubts
          D
If you're looking for another lover
     A
Then baby I've got you


Chorus:
            E
Down in the Bayou
                   Bm
Crickets in a July sky moon
                         D
Spotlight shining on the night moves
D
Made in the dark
A                 D
Black water soul, kudzu heart
        E
Getting tangled up
                             Bm
Fetch a little love till the sun comes up
                            D            A
No place I'd rather be than waking up by you

In the Bayou by you
