No Capo

Easy song. Hammer on and off with different fingers during the first half of the verses 
to give it some flair since it's just a G chord. 

Tabbed by J. LaHood.

G
Saturday night and the moon is out
G
Just shinin' over top of the pines
G
I'm headin' on down to my baby's house
G
Gonna take her on a midnight ride
                 Em                C                G
Now I'm on these backroads winding up at a Kickapoo Creek
Em                          C                  D
Dancin' and singin' to some good ol' boys like me

                C   D    G
Baby, there's a shooting star,
             C   D   G  
That was for me and you.
    C              G                   C                  D
So, hold me tight, make that wish, and pray that it comes true.
        G    D  G
I ain't sure of much,
    Em   D  C
But this I know -
Em                                  D                     G
I got a diamond in my pocket and my baby's got a heart of gold.


G
I brought along a little courage and Coleman cooler, Just to help me out
G
My hands are shaking like a Cambridge rattler,
G
Nothing's gonna save me now
             Em                  C                 G
Mind as well jump in head first, lay it all on the line
          Em                          C                 D
What am I worrying about? Never gonna be a more perfect time


                C   D    G
Baby, there's a shooting star,
             C   D   G  
That was for me and you.
    C              G                   C                  D
So, hold me tight, make that wish, and pray that it comes true.
        G    D  G
I ain't sure of much,
    Em   D  C
But this I know -
Em                                  D                     G
I got a diamond in my pocket and my baby's got a heart of gold.


(instrumental interlude)

       C                       G
Well I didn't have money for a Broadway show,
        C                           G
but the crickets are singing to the radio,
      Em
and we've got tickets -
                  D
on the very front row.


                C   D    G
Baby, there's a shooting star,
             C   D   G  
That was for me and you.
