Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
Across the [G]river an owl
was call[F]in'[E][Am]
As he [G]slowly made his rounds
[F]A m[E]idn[Am]ight dew[G]
was softly fall[F]ing[E]
On the [F]ground, [G]on the ground
[Am]

[Verse 2]
She was [G]standing by the camp[F]fire[E][Am]
I watched her [G]move into
the [F]dance[E][Am]
And when she [G]looked at me with
those [F]sexy [E]eyes
They seemed [F]to say, "Hey boy,
[G]d'ya wanna take a chance?"
[Am]

[Verse 3]
[Dm]
Bayou wo[G]man you make
me [Am]feel [Dm]it
Dancing [G]barefoot in the [Am]night[Dm]
Moving [G]softly in the shad[Am]ows
In the [F]pale [G]moonlight

[Interlude 1]
[Am][G][F][E][Am]
[G][F][E][Dm][Am]
[Dm][E][Am]

[Verse 4]
Behind the [G]clouds,
the moon was slip[F]ping[E][Am]
I felt her [G]move into my arms
[F]She[E] sa[Am]id,
"Are [G]you into skin[F]nin'?"[E]
I said, [F]"Anything baby,
[G]to keep war[Am]m"

[Verse 5]
[Dm]
Bayou wo[G]man you make
me [Am]feel [Dm]it
Runnin' [G]barefoot in the [Am]night[Dm]
Standing [G]golden by the [Am]river
In [F]the pale [G]moonlight
[Am]

[Interlude 2]
[G][F][E][Am][G]
[F][E][Dm][Am][Dm]
[E][Am][Dm]

[Verse 6]
Bayou wo[G]man you make me [Am]feel [Dm]it
Dancin' [G]barefoot in the [Am]night[Dm]
Moving [G]softly in the shad[Am]ows
In [F]the pale, [G]pale moonlight
