Capo 4
A G D
The crickets are singin', the bluegills been bitin'
A D
And the fireflies are flashin' with all of their might
A G
And down on the river ol' Reagan went fishin'
E7 A
And he's layin' for a big one on a full moon lit night
Chorus:
G D
We get high on the lake then we float down the river
A D
Get off on the backroads, get lost in the woods
G D
Buried deep in the heart of Uncertain Texas
A D
I tried hard to leave there but never did good
Change key to E
B7 A E
Tomorrow we're havin' the world's largest fish fry
B7 E
Eat catfish and crappie till they come out our ears
B7 E
Have it made in the shade of a sleepy pine thicket
F# B7
Get covered up in chiggers and drink ten tubs of beer
Chorus:
A E
We get high on the lake then we float down the river
B7 E
Get off on the backroads, get lost in the woods
A E
Buried deep in the heart of Uncertain Texas
B7 E
I tried hard to leave there but never did good
So give him his guitar and a long legged girl
Moonlight in Texas and a sixpack of Pearl
