Now it was late last Friday evening, when everything was still,
Am C Am C Am
I heard somebody calling my name outside my window sill,
Am C Am C Am
I got up and I looked outside strainin' my eyes to see,

And my heart went wild when I realized just who was calling me,

[Verse 2]
Am C Am
Now, her eyes were blazing up at me,
Am C Am
Her hair was black as night,
Am C Am
And her naked skin shone like gold,
Am C Am
Out in the pale moonlight,
Am
She took my hand and she pulled me down,
Am
Where the grass had grown up tall,
Am
The she moved her body all around,
Am
Just like a cannon ball.
