|C Bb F| 4x 

C         Bb 
Debonair lullabies 
Bbsus2       C 
In melodies revealed 
C                Bb  
In deep despair on lonely nights 
Bbsus2                C 
He knows just how you feel 
C                  Bb 
The slyest rhymes, the sharpest suits 
Bbsus2            C 
In miracles made real 

Am                    Bb 
Like a bird in flight on a hot sweet night 
Am                           Bb    F   Bb   C 
You know you're right just to hold her tight 
Am                   Bb 
He soothes it right, makes it out of sight 
F 
And everything's good in the world tonight 

     C            Bb F          C      Bb F 
When Smokey sings,     I hear violins 

     C            Bb F           C        Bb F 
When Smokey sings,     I forget everything 

          C 
As she's packing her things 
          Bb 
As she's spreading her wings 
          C 
The front door might slam 
         Bb 
But the back door it rings 
    C           Bb F     C    Bb F 
And Smokey sings,   he sings 

C           Bb 
Elegance in eloquence 
Bbsus2             C 
For sale or rent or hire 
C                   Bb 
Should I say yes and match his best 
Bsus2              C 
Then I would be a liar 
C                Bb        
Symphonies that soothe the rage 
Bbsus2                    C 
When lovers' hearts catch fire 

Am                    Bb 
Like a bird in flight on a hot sweet night 
Am                           Bb   F   Bb  C 
You know you're right just to hold her tight 
Am                   Bb      
He soothes it right, makes it out of sight 
F 
And everything's good in the world tonight 


     C            Bb F          C      Bb F 
When Smokey sings,     I hear violins 

     C            Bb F           C        Bb F 
When Smokey sings,     I forget everything 

         C 
As she's packing her things 
         Bb 
As she's spreading her wings 
C   
Smashing the hell 
         Bb 
With the heaven she brings 
     C           Bb F    C    Bb F 
Then Smokey sings,   he sings 

C                        Bb Bbsus2 C 
Would it be true to say 
C            Bbsus2 
Luther croons 
Bb                      C 
Sly's the original originator 
C     Bb 
James screams 
Bb                   C 
Marvin was the only innovator 
C    Bb                  Bbsus2 
But nothing can compare, Nothing can compare 
      C            
When Smokey sings

When Smokey sings,     I forget everything 

         C                  Bb F 
As she's packing her things 
         C                  Bb F 
As she's spreading her wings 
    C                   Bb F 
She threw back the ring 
     C           Bb F 
When Smokey sings 
C             Bb F
