Tom: Em

F#
Well it's a darn good life And it's kinda funny
               B
How the Lord made the bee And the bee made the honey
              Db
And the honeybee lookin' for a home
F#
         And they called it honeycomb
               F#
And they roamed the world and they gathered all
            B
Of the honeycomb into one sweet ball
              Db
And the honeycomb from a million trips
F#
      Made my baby's lips

[Chorus]
       B
Oh, Honeycomb, won't you be my baby
         F#
Well, Honeycomb, be my own
          Db
Got a hank o' hair and a piece o' bone
F#
       And made a walkin' talkin' Honeycomb


          B
Well, Honeycomb, won't you be my baby
          F#
Well, Honeycomb, be my own
             Db
What a darn good life
                                          F#
When you got a wife like Honeycomb

[Verse 2]
G
Honeycomb

And the Lord said now that I made a bee
                  C
I'm gonna look all around for a green, green tree
             D
And He made a little tree and I guess you heard
G
         Oh, then well he made a little bird

                G
And they waited all around till the end of Spring
           C
Gettin' every note that the birdie'd sing
              D
And they put 'em all into one sweet tome
G
      For my Honeycomb

[Chorus]
       C
Oh, Honeycomb, won't you be my baby
         G
Well, Honeycomb, be my own
         D
Got a hank o' hair and a piece o' bone
                    G
And made a walkin' talkin' Honeycomb
          C
Well, Honeycomb, won't you be my baby
          G
Well, Honeycomb, be my own
             D
What a darn good life When you got a wife like
G
Honeycomb

[Verse 3]

Ab
Honeycomb

And the Lord says now that I made a bird
                 Db
I'm gonna look all round for a little ol' word
        Eb
That sounds about sweet like "turtledove"
Ab
        And I guess I'm gonna call it "love"

              Ab
And He roamed the world lookin' everywhere
           Db
Gettin' love from here, love from there
             Eb
And He put it all in a little ol' part
Ab
      Of my baby's heart

[Chorus]
       Db
Oh, Honeycomb, won't you be my baby
         Ab
Well, Honeycomb, be my own
          Eb
Got a hank o' hair and a piece o' bone
                     Ab
And made a walkin' talkin' Honeycomb
          Db
Well, Honeycomb, won't you be my baby
          Ab
Well, Honeycomb, be my own
             Eb
What a darn good life
                                               Ab
When you got a wife like      Honeycomb
