Backwater Zoo

C                     D              G
Baby I would give you all the tea in china
               C                  D                  G
Cos you're the sweetest lil honey bee that I've ever seen
C                      D          G       Am         Bm         C
An' when the things go wrong I'ma get you smilin' by singing my song
                          D                  G
Surely we're the kookiest two in a backwater zoo


[Verse 1]
                                                   C
When summat ain't right I see that your sunshine's faded
            D                              C        G
When I been dancin' all day you never even raise an eye
                                                C
You're all uptight but with a litte more investigatin'
       D                                       C       G

D                                       C      G
Send me a thumbs up and I'll send you a smilie face
                               C
Saint John Blues like a noose, the way I set fire on your worryin'
D
Honey we got nothin to lose, but if your beggin' a question then I'll tell you the truth


[Chorus]
C                     D              G

C                      D          G       Am         Bm         C
An' when the things go wrong I'ma get you smilin' by singing my song

[Verse 3]
                                          C
Now late last night a saw hole in the sky above me
           D                                C    G
and it was sucking on my dreams up into the graveyard
                                            C
I held on tight cos I knew my honey bee she loved me
      D                              C       G
I say good bye bye to my blues and I turn it around, oh yes!


[Chorus]
C                     D              G
Baby I would give you all the tea in china
               C                  D                  G
Cos you're the sweetest lil honey bee that I've ever seen
C                      D          G       Am         Bm         C
An' when the things go wrong I'ma get you smilin' by singing my song
