     G                                                                  A
    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.

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.

   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.
