You can (Dm)take

(Dm)put it in a big brown bag for me,

sail right (Dm)’round

all the (Eb)sev en o (Bb)ceans,

drop it (Dm)straight in to the deep blue (Eb)sea.

She’s (Dm)as sweet

as Tu pe lo (Bb)hon ey.

She’s an (Dm)an gel of the (Eb)first de gree.

She’s (Dm)as sweet,

she’s as sweet as (Bb)Tu pe lo hon ey,

just like (Dm)hon ey, ba by,

from the bee.

You can’t stop us on the road to (Bb)free dom;

you can’t (Dm)keep us, ’cause our (Eb)eyes can (F6)see

men with (Dm)in sight,

men in (Bb)gran ite,

knights in (Dm)ar mor bent on chiv al ry.

She’s as sweet as Tu pe lo (Bb)hon ey.

She’s an (Dm)an gel of the (Eb)first de gree.

(She’s an (Cm)an gel.)

She’s as sweet as (Eb)Tu pe lo hon ey,

just like hon ey, ba by, from the bee.
