Capo 2 

C     F     Am     G

C
Potluck supper and barbecue 
F
Cooler full of beer, one for sodas too
Am
Us kids chasing fireflies with no shoes
G
Saturday sundown 


C
Mama's hollering "ya'll wash up
F
Clean that plate with your cornbread crust
Am
Don't drink from Daddy's Dixie cup"
G
The guitars are coming out 

Chorus 
F
Those cedar planks rattled and moaned,

Rocked and rolled to a country song
G
On a couple of sunburst flat tops
C
And a hand me down mandolin 
F
Sometimes they had the chords half wrong

But we laughed and cried and sang along
G
Family, friends and harmony and 
C
Goosebumps on my skin
F                               G
You can't put a price on what those night were worth 
C                         C/B                Am
It was the greatest, greatest show on
C
 earth 


C
Some sang low some high and lonesome
F
Will that circle be unbroken 
Am
Grab a part if you know one 
G
Or clap along instead 

C
Son if you wanna touch a guitar ask
F
Sister's sleeping in Aunt Kate's lap
Am
And I'd shake it like Elvis just to make em laugh
G
Before I went to bed

Chorus 

C
Take a little break; talk a little fishing 
F
Let the crickets sing an intermission 
Am
I'd drift off to dream
G
And they'd fire it up again 

Chorus
