Don’t have no bod y to (G7)call my own.

(Cm7)Please turn on your mag ic (Ebm6)beam.

Mis ter (Bb)Sand man, (C9)bring me (F7)a (Bb)dream.

Mis ter (Bb)Sand man,

Make him the cut est that (G7)I’ve ev er seen.

Give him the word that (F7)I’m not a ro ver, then tell me that my lone some (Gbmaj9)nights are (F9)o ver.
