(Intro.)
|(G) / / / |(Am) / (C) / | x 4

(Verse 1)
(G) See the moonlight (Am)shining through the (C)pines
And I know (G) I am steady on (Am)my way (C)
(G) Got no reason for the (Am)radi-(C)o
I'd rather (G)feel the wind and hear the bull (Am)frogs sing (C)
(G) Got a buddy out towards (Am)Monroe, (C)said
He caught some (G)hogs he'll trade for moonshine (Am) today (C)
There's a (G)party up ahead, an (Am)angel to my (C)right
I took my (G)hand and brushed her cheek, (Am)when I caught her (C)eye I told her
 
(Chorus)
(Am)You and (C)I will (G)dance this (D)night a-(Am)way
We will (C)dance this (G)night away (D)
As the (Am)Cajuns (C)on that (G)back porch (D)play Zydeco
(Am) Girl, we will (C)dance this night (G)
We will (D)dance the night a-(G)-way
 
(Solo)

(Verse 2)
(G) Cross the river hit the (Am)LA line (C)
She didn't (G)see it 'cause she reads all (Am)the way (C)
(G) Band was playing by the (Am)time we arrived (C)
She couldn't (G)help but smile when she (Am)heard that fiddle (C)play
She'd start (G)to move under-(Am)neath that (C)moon-(G)-light
You (Am)know she felt a-(C)live
And so then I (G)knew that (Am)brown eyed (C)girl was (G) mine
The (Am)way she held me (C)tight and told me
 
(Chorus)
(Am)You and (C)I will (G)dance this (D)night a-(Am)way
We will (C)dance this (G)night away (D)
As the (Am)Cajuns (C)on that (G)back porch (D)play Zyde-(Am)co
Girl, we will (C)dance this night (G)
We will (D)dance the night a-(G)-way

(Verse 4)
(G) Party died but left our (Am)souls alive (C)
So we walked (G) down to the dock beneath the (Am) stars (C)
(G) The sun was sleeping but my (Am)heart would rise (C)
As I (G)felt my shaking knee hit that (Am) wooden deck floor (C)
I asked (G) her lifetime (Am) no less (C)
And no (G)more (Am) (C)
She said, “My (G) lifetime (Am) I'm yours (C) forevermore"
(G) Took her (Am)hand to tell (C)her
 
(Chorus)
(Am)You and (C)I will (G)dance this (D)night a-(An)way
We will (C)dance this (G)night away
As the (Am)Cajuns (C)on that (G)back porch (D)play Zyde-(Am)co
Girl, we will (C)dance this night (G)
We will (D)dance the life 'cause
(Am)You and (C)I will (G)dance this (D)night a-(Am)way
We will (C)dance the night a-(G)way (D)
As the (Am)Cajuns (C)on that (G)back porch (D)play Zyde-(Am)co
Girl, we will (C)dance this life (G)
We will (D)dance this life a-(G)-way (Am) / (C) / |
