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.
Saturday night and the moon is out
Just shinin over top of the pines
I m headin on down to my baby s house
Gonna take her on a midnight ride
Now I m on these backroads winding up at a Kickapoo Creek
Dancin and singin to some good ol boys like me
Baby, there s a shooting star,
That was for me and you.
So, hold me tight, make that wish, and pray that it comes true.
I ain t sure of much,
But this I know -
I got a diamond in my pocket and my baby s got a heart of gold.
I brought along a little courage and Coleman cooler, Just to help me out
My hands are shaking like Cambridge rattler,
Nothing s gonna save me now
Mind as well jump in head first, lay it all on the line
What am I worrying about? Never gonna be a more perfect time
Baby, there s a shooting star,
That was for me and you.
So, hold me tight, make that wish, and pray that it comes true.
I ain t sure of much,
But this I know -
I got a diamond in my pocket and my baby s got a heart of gold.
(instrumental interlude)
Well I didnt have money for a broadway show,
but the crickets are singing to the radio
and we ve got tickets-
on the very front row.
Baby, there s a shooting star,
That was for me and you.
So, hold me tight, make that wish, and pray that it comes true.
I ain t sure of much,
But this I know -
I got a diamond in my pocket and my baby s got a heart of gold.
