Intro: [F] [Gm7] [F] [Gm7]

Gonna [F] find my baby gonna hold her tight

Gonna [Gm7] grab some afternoon delight

My [F] motto's always been when it's right it's right

Why [Gm7] wait until the middle of a cold dark night

[Gm7] When everything's a little clearer in the [C] light of day

[Gm7] And you know the night is always gonna be there

[C] Any[C7*]way [Am/C] [C] (also use this walk down at other appropriate times in the song)

[F] Thinking of you's working up my appetite

Looking [Gm7] forward to a little afternoon delight

Rubbin' [F] sticks and stones together makes the sparks ignite

And the [Gm7] thought of lovin' you is getting so exciting

Chorus:

[F] Sky rockets in flight [C7sus4] [F] after[A7]noon de[Dm]light

[Gm7] A..[G7sus4]afternoon de[F]light

[Gm7] A[Am7] [G7sus4]afternoon de[F]light

[F] Started out this morning feeling so polite

I always [Gm7] thought a fish could not be caught who didn't bite

But you've [F] got some bait a waitin' and I think I might

Try [Gm7] nibbling a little afternoon delight Chorus

[Gm7] Please be waiting for me baby when I [C] come around

[Gm7] We could make a lot of lovin’ ‘fore the [C] sun goes down

[F] Thinkin' of you's workin' up my appetite

Looking [Gm7] forward to a little afternoon delight

Rubbin' [F] sticks and stones together makes the sparks ignite

And the [Gm7] thought of lovin' you is getting so exciting

Chorus then [Gm7] A...[Am7].... [G7sus4]afternoon de[F]light

Tacet: A...........................afternoon delight
