	        G Am7 Bbm7 D   Am7  D7/9      Am7 D7 
I call her firefly,    'cause, oh my,  
G  Gdim    Am7   G    G6 
She   radiates  moon glow, 
D7    Am7           D7   Am7 
Wants none of that noon glow, 
G              Am7    Edim     Am7 Cdim  G 
She starts to glitter when the sun goes down. 
Gdim  D      Am7  D7/9     Em7   D7 
By   eight p.m.,    it's     mayhem; 
G    Am7          G      G6 
She switches the brights up,  
E7    Bm5-/7   A7          
Lights up and gives me a call, 
Gdim   G              A7   D7   G 
'Hey, take me to the fireflies ball.' 
Bridge: 
    F#m7    B7            F#7 
But when I get her there, set her there, 
B7          F#7           E7     Bm5-/7        E7 
Do I get to pet her there    and grab me some glow? 
   Bm5-/7    A7         E7        A7           E7       
No, she's a gad-about, mad about lurin' ev'ry lad about 
D7      Am7        D7         G6 
While leavin' me moanin' low. 
Edim  D7 Am7  D7 Em7 Fdim  E7 G    Am7       G  G6 
Oh   firefly,    why can't I latch on to you no how? 
E7 Bm5-/7   A7           Gdim 
Oh  how I love you, but gee 
G           B7          Em       A7 
While you set the night on fire, fly, 
G              Gdim  Am7 G 
Shine a little light on me.
