Abmaj7   Eb4/9-   Abmaj7 
When a bee  lies sleepin' 
Eb4/9-  Abmaj7            D7/9+ Gb9 
In the    palm of your hand 
Abmaj7       Db7            C4/7     F7/9- 
You're bewitched and deep in love's 
         E9/11+         E7   Db7 
Long looked after love 
C7                                F7 
Where you'll see a sun up sky 
Bb7          B7/13-   Eb7/9  
With the morning  dew 
        B9                          D7             F7 
And where the days go laughin' by 
      Bb7     C7      Db6    Db7  Eb4(9)  Eb9 
As love comes a-calling on     you 
Abmaj7   Eb4/9-   Abmaj7 
Sleep on bee don't waken 
Eb4/9-  Abmaj7            D7/9+ Gb9 
Can't believe what just passed 
Abmaj7       Db7      C4/7  F7/9-    Bb7       Eb9/11+ 
He's mine for   the takin'    I am happy at last 
C7                       F7 
Maybe I dreams, but he seems 
           Bb7             Eb4(9) 
Sweet golden as a crown 
Eb7/9- Abmaj7    Dbmaj7     C7 
A          sleepin' bee done told me 
   F7   Bb7                   Eb9                   C7 
I will walk with my feet     off the ground 
F7             Bb7  Bb7/13-  Eb4(9)  Eb9            Ab6 Bb7 Ab9 
When my one   true         love         I       has found 
Abmaj7   Eb4/9-   Abmaj7 
Sleep on bee don't waken 
Eb4/9-  Abmaj7            D7/9+ Gb9 
Can not believe what just passed 
Abmaj7       Db7      C4/7  F7/9-    Bb7       Eb9/11+

Golden as a crown 
Eb7/9- Abmaj7    Dbmaj7     C7
