August Chords & Lyrics - Mark Erelli

CAPO: 4th Fret

[VERSE 1]
[F]Katydid fiddling on a [C]summer's eve
[F]Brown bats circle 'round the [C]old house [G]eaves
[F]I can taste the [G]ocean on a [C]cool [G/B]salt [Am]breeze
Blowing through a torn screen [F]door

[VERSE 2]
Can't believe I let the [G]summer slip a[C]way again
Like [F]watermelon juice dripping [C]down my [G]chin
There [F]might be [G]light enough for [C]one [G/B]last [Am]swim
If we [Dm]hurry on down to the [G]shore
A [Am]fool would [G]ask for [F]more
A fool would [G]ask for [C]more

[VERSE 3]
[F]Bullfrog thrumming like a [C]banjo string
[F]Thought I heard a whippoorwill [C]starting to [G]sing as
The [F]moon spilled [G]silver over [C]ev[G/B]eryt[Am]hing
But ain't that what the moon is [F]for

[VERSE 4]
Back porch, [G]drunk on a [C]jug a-red wine
[F]Picking on a tune with some [C]friends of [G]mine
The [F]music floating [G]up into the [C]bottle[G/B]brush [Am]pines
[Dm]Ain't nobody keeping [G]score
A [Am]fool would [G]ask for [F]more
A fool would [G]ask for [C]more [F]

[BRIDGE]
I ain't [C]restless to[G]night
I gots [Bdim7]you and the [Fm7]moon so [C]bright
Hey, I'm al[G]right
I'm al[F]right

[VERSE 5]
The [F]laughter's still lingering in the [C]evening air
We'll clean the [F]bottles up tomorrow, they'll [C]still be [G]there
[F]Turn off the [G]lights, let's [C]go [G/B]upst[Am]airs
Careful of the creaking [F]floor

[VERSE 6]
Such a beautiful [G]boy, he's a [C]picture of peace
Let's [F]stand here a minute just [C]watching him [G]sleep
[F]God bless this [G]little [C]vigil [G/B]we [Am]keep
A [G]fool would ask for [Am]more
A [F]fool would [G]ask for [C]more
A [G]fool would ask for [Am]more
A [F]fool would [Em]ask for [C]more
