Blanket on the ground   (midi)

 

      G                                                                                                         A

1. Come and look out through the window, that big old moon is shinin' down,

                                         D                                             G

    tell me now, don't it remind you of a blanket on the ground ?

      - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -   G                                                A

    Remember back when love first found us, we'd go slippin' out of town,

                                                  D                                              G

    and we'd love beneath the moonlight on a blanket on the ground.

 

                  G7                      C                                                         G

I'll get the blanket from the bedroom and we'll go walking once again,

                                        D                                                    G  - G7

to that spot down by the river where our sweet love first began.

                                     C                                                    G

Just because we are married, don't mean we can't slip around,

                                                 D                               D7                    G

so let's walk out through the moonlight and lay the blanket on the ground.

2.      Oh remember how excited we used to get when love was young,

                                                  E                                                      A

    that old moon was our best buddy, we couldn't wait for night to come.

                                                                                                   B7

    Now you know you still excite me, I know you love me like I am,

                                                 E                                              A     

    just once more I wish you'd love me on a blanket on the ground.

 

                  A7                       D                                                        A

I'll get the blanket from the bedroom and we'll go walking once again,

                                        E                                                    A  - A7

to that spot down by the river where our sweet love first began.

                                     D                                                    A

Just because we are married, don't mean we can't slip around,

                                                 E                               E7                     A

so let's walk out through the moonlight and lay the blanket on the ground.
