[Verse]
Em9 C#m7(b5) F#7(b9) B7
Lullaby of birdland that's what I
Em9 C#m7(b5) Am7 D9
Always hear, when you sigh
Gmaj7 Em9 Am7 D13
Never in my word land could there be words
Gmaj7 Cmaj7 Am6 B7(#5)
To reveal in a phrase how I feel
Em9 C#m7(b5) F#7(b9) B7
Have you ever heard two turtle doves?
Em9 C#m7(b5) Am7 D9
Bill and Coo, when they love
Gmaj7 Em9 Am7 D13
That's the kind of magic music we make
Gmaj7 D9 Gmaj7
With our lips when we kiss
[Chorus]
Em9 E9 Am7
And there's a weepy old willow
D7 D#dim Em9
He really knows how to cry
E9 Am7
That's how I cry in my pillow
D9 D#dim Gmaj7 B7(#5)
If you should tell me farewell and goodbye
[Verse]
Em9 C#m7(b5) F#7(b9) B7
Lullaby of birdland whisper low
Em9 C#m7(b5) Am7 D9
Kiss me sweet and we'll go
Gmaj7 Em9 Am7 D13
Flying high in birdland, high in the sky
Gmaj7 Am6 B7(#5)
Up above all because we're in love
[Verse] (no lyrics, solo)
