Hammer on and off with different fingers during the first half of the verses
to give it some flair since it's just a G chord.
[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
G
Saturday night and the moon is out, just a shinin' over top of the pines
G
I'm headin' on down to my baby's house, gonna take her on a midnight ride
Em C G
Down them backroads windin' up at a Kickapoo Creek
Em C D
Dancin' and singin' to some good ol' boys like me
[Chorus]
N.C. C D G
Baby, there's a shooting star,
C D G
That one's for me an' you
Em C G D
So, hold me tight, an' make that wish, an' pray that it comes true
C D G
Now, I ain't sure of much,
Em D C
but this I know
G D C
I got a diamond in my pocket an' my baby's got a heart of gold
[Turnaround]
G C G C
[Verse 2]
G
I brought along a little courage and Coleman cooler, just to help me out
G
My hands are shakin' like a canebrake rattler, nothin's gonna save me now
Em C G
Might as well jump in head first, lay it all on the line
Em C D
What am I worried 'bout? Never gonna be a more perfect time
[Chorus]
C D G
'Cause baby, there's a shooting star,
C D G
That one's for me and you
Em C G D
So, hold me tight, make that wish, and pray that it comes true

I've got a diamond in my pocket and my baby's got a heart of gold
[Turnaround]

Well, I didn't have money for a Broadway show,
C G
but the crickets are singin' to the radio

on the very front row
(key change)

2nd verse, the lyric is Canebrake rattler, not Cambridge rattler.

chords appear fine to me, not sure what this other guy is talking about. and I play bass, so my notes are more noticeable if they aren't correct.

Instead "hammering on and off with different fingers in the intrstayiu can actually just slide the bass of the chord up from half a step down. So it actually goes
