Tony Joe White - Bayou Woman
(Intro: Bm)
Bm A G F#
Across the river an owl was callin'
Bm A G F#
As he slowly made his rounds
Bm A G F#
A midnight dew was softly falling
G A Bm
On the ground, on the ground
She was standing by the campfire
I watched her move into the dance
And when she looked at me with those sexy eyes
They seemed to say, "Hey boy, d'ya wanna take a chance?"
Em A Bm
Bayou woman you make me feel it
Em A Bm
Dancing barefoot in the night
Em A Bm
Moving softly in the shadows
G A Bm
In the pale moonlight
(Guitar solo: the chord progression is probably the same as in the verse but I'm
not sure, I'll figure it out later)
Behind the clouds, the moon was slipping
I felt her move into my arms
She said, "Are you into skinny dippin'?"
I said, "Anything baby, to keep warm"
Bayou woman you make me feel it
Runnin' barefoot in the night
Standing golden by the river
In the pale moonlight
(Guitar solo)
Bayou woman you make me feel it
Dancin' barefoot in the night
Moving softly in the shadows
In the pale, pale moonlight
