Chords

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. [Intro] G [Verse 1]
G
Saturday night and the moon is out, just a shinin' over top of the pines

    G
I'm headin' on down to my baby's house, gonna take her on a midnight ride

          Em                C                G
Down them backroads windin' up at a Kickapoo Creek

Em                          C                  D
Dancin' and singin' to some good ol' boys like me
[Chorus]
N.C.              C   D    G
Baby, there's a shooting star,

               C  D   G
That one's for me an' you

    Em                 C                   G                  D
So, hold me tight, an' make that wish, an' pray that it comes true

              C    D  G
Now, I ain't sure of much,

    Em   D C
but this I know

        G                           D                       C
I got a diamond in my pocket an' my baby's got a heart of gold
[Turnaround] G C G C [Verse 2]
           G
I brought along a little courage and Coleman cooler, just to help me out

    G
My hands are shakin' like a canebrake rattler, nothin's gonna save me now

              Em                  C                 G
Might as well jump in head first, lay it all on the line

          Em                         C                 D
What am I worried 'bout? Never gonna be a more perfect time
[Chorus]
                         C   D    G
'Cause baby, there's a shooting star,

               C  D   G
That one's for me and you

    Em             C                   G                  D
So, hold me tight, make that wish, and pray that it comes true

              C    D  G
Now, I ain't sure of much,

    Em   D C
but this I know

           G                           D                      C
I've got a diamond in my pocket and my baby's got a heart of gold
[Turnaround] G C G C G C D [Bridge]
        C                       G
Well, I didn't have money for a Broadway show,

        C                           G
but the crickets are singin' to the radio

    Cadd9
an' we've got tickets

                  D
on the very front row
