[G] [Eb] [Gm]
[G]
Oh,
[Cm] [A] lullaby of [Ab] Birdland, that's [G] what I [Cm] [A] always hear [G] when you [D] sigh.
[Cm] Never in my wordland [Bm] could there be words to [C] reveal [Eb] in a phrase how [G] I feel.
[Eb] Have [Cm] you ever [Eb] heard blue [D] turtle [Eb] dove feeling [Ab] cool when they [Gb] love?
[Cm] That's the kind of [Fm] magic [Eb] music we get from our lips when we kiss.
[Abm] [C] And there's a [Fm] weepy old [G]
willow, [F] [B] he [Eb] really knows how to cry.
[C] That's how I cry in [Ab] my pillow [Abm] if [D] you grew tired and just said [G] [Cm] goodbye.
Lullaby [A] of Birdland, [G] whisper low, [Cm] kiss me [Fm] sweet, then [Gm] we'll go.
Flying high in [Ab] Birdland, [Abm] high and [Gm] up, up, up, [C] all
[G] [Gm] because we're in love.
[D] Lullaby, [G]
[Cm] lullaby, [Ab]
[A]
[G] have you ever [D] heard blue [Ab] turtle dove [Cm] [A] feeling cool [Ab] when they [Gb] [C] love?
That's [Ab] the kind of magic music [Gm] [Bb] when we [F] kiss.
[C] [G] And
[Ab] he [D] really knows [Eb] how to cry, [C] [G] that's how I cry in [Ab] my pillow [F] if [Bb] you grew [Eb] tired and just [Gm] said goodbye.
[A] Lullaby, whisper low, [D] kiss me sweet, [C] then we'll [D] go.
Flying high in [Gm] Birdland, high in the sky, [Am] up, up, [Gm] up, all because we're in [A] love.
