Intro
G 
 
Verse 1
                               G 
Unrolled a blanket down by the water 
                       C 
It's just you and me tonight 
                       D 
Our campfire's gettin' sleepy 
                         G 
The whole world is goin' quiet 
 
Verse 2
                             G 
The evenin' light is fadin' away 
                           C 
A gentle breeze is blowin' past 
                        D 
Makin' the grass slowly dance 
                               G 
Wish this night wouldn't go so fast 
 
Chorus
                           C 
Watchin' fireflies in West Texas 
D                            G 
   Sittin' under the the cyprus trees 
                           C 
See the moon rise over the river 
D                    G 
   No place I'd rather be 
 
Verse 3
                            G 
Can't stop life from racin' by 
                        C 
There's magic in the air tonight 
                    D 
I'll remember every moment 
                  G 
For the rest of my life 
 
Chorus
                           C 
Watchin' fireflies in West Texas 
D                            G 
   Sittin' under the the cyprus trees 
                           C 
See the moon rise over the river 
D                    G 
   No place I'd rather be 
 
Bridge
F                            C 
   And I once see a shooting star 
                        G 
But I won't wish on 'em anymore 
F                           C 
   Just you sayin' that you love me 
             D 
Is all I can ask for 
 
Chorus
                           C 
Watchin' fireflies in West Texas 
D                            G 
   Sittin' under the the cyprus trees 
                           C 
See the moon rise over the river 
D                    G 
   No place I'd rather be 
 
Outro
                     C 
You and me and the fireflies 
D                     G 
   Lyin' under the cyprus trees 
                          C 
See the sun rise over the river 
D                  N.C. 
   No place I'd rather be
