G Am7 Bbm7 D Am7 D9 Am7 D7
I call her firefly, 'cause, oh my,
G Gdim Am7 G G6
She ra - di - ates 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 D9 Em7 D7
By eight p.m., it's may - hem;
G Am7 G G6
She switches the brights up,
E7 Bm7-5 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 Bm7-5 E7
Do I get to pet her there and grab me some glow?
Bm7-5 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 Bm7-5 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
