Well, after months of living off the labor of everyone else that has
contributed both here and at Nevada, this is my first shot at
transcribing something. I used my black on white US Strat hooked up to
a cheap Dean Markely practice amp.

Repeat 2x

(A)
Come on now, give me some sugar
Give me some sugar, little honey bee
Don�t be afraid, not gonna hurt you
I wouldn�t hurt my little honey bee

(A) 
Don�t say a word, �bout what we�re doin�
Don�t say nothin� little honey bee
Don�t tell your momma, don�t tell your sister
Don�t tell your boyfriend, little honey bee

Chorus

(A)                      (C)
She like to call me king bee
                           (D)
She like to buzz �round my tree
             (F)
I call her honey bee
(A)            (C)
I�m a man in a trance
                   (D)
I�m a boy in short pants
                (F)
When I see my honey bee
      (F7)
and I�ve got something to say


(repeat intro 4x, guitar solo)

(A)
Look here now, peace in the valley
Peace in the valley with my honey bee
Don�t say a word, �bout what we�re doin�
Don�t say nothin� little honey bee

Chorus
(A)                    (C)
She give me her monkey hand
                (D)
And a Rambler sedan
                (F)
I�m the king of Milwaukee
(A)                   (C)
Her juju beads are so nice
                           (D)
She kissed my third cousin twice
                   (F)
I�m the king of Pomona
      (F7)
And I�ve got something to say

repeat riff to fade


That should do it. If anyone has the gumption to transcribe the solo, I
would appreciate a copy.
