Verse 1:

G            Cmaj7
 Just like a buzzin' fly,
G       Cmaj7     G
 I come into your life,
Cmaj7          G
 Now I float a-way,
     Cmaj7        G    Cmaj7
Like honey in the sun.
G       Cmaj7
 Was it right or wrong?
G           Cmaj7          G
 I couldn't sing that song,
Cmaj7 G    Cmaj7
 Any -way.

G        Cmaj7    G        Cmaj7
 Oh, but darlin', now I re-member,
G        Cmaj7     G     Cmaj7
 How the sun shown down.
G           Cmaj7
 And how it warmed your,
G        Cmaj7
 Prayin' smile,
G             Cmaj7    G      Cmaj7
 When all the love was there.

 You're the one I think about;
G      Cmaj7   G   Cmaj7
 Every-where I go.
G              Cmaj7
 And sometimes honey,
G       Cmaj7
 In the mornin';
G      Cmaj7      G
 Lord, I miss you so.

 Oh, hear the mountains singing;

 Dar-lin', out your name.

 What makes ya wild?
G              Cmaj7        G
 What makes ya love me this way?

Darlin' I wanna know,

 A-walkin' hand in hand,
G      Cmaj7
 All a-long the sand,
G          Cmaj7     G     Cmaj7
 A seabird knew your name.
G             Cmaj7
 He knew your love was growin',
G                 Cmaj7      G
 Lord, I think it knows it's flowin',
Cmaj7            G
 Through you and me.

 Ah, tell me darlin';

 When I should leave you.
