The Bees

[Intro]
D#

[Verse]
D#  
I've been looking

for a sweeter side

Looking for a big bloom on a short vine
                G#
Looking for a better way of life
                           D#
Somewhere that I can call home

[Verse]

Spent my time at a peach stand

Sun beatin' like a stinging red tan
                 G#
Like the back of my daddy's hand
                           D#
The only thing I've ever known

[Chorus]
                A#  
I can hear the bees buzzin'

through the walls
               G#   
  Making their honey
                    D#
and singing their song
            A#  
They say I work for

the queen all day
         G#                      D#
Yeah, I work for the queen all day
G#       D#          G#     D#
  Ohhhh...          Ohhhh...

[Verse]

Sometimes it's a bitter taste

For a motherless child so out of place
                   
  I never understood
  G#
why she ran away
                 D#
Maybe I'll never know

[Verse]

But there's a light shinin' through the trees

And a restless hum that's calling me
                  
  I could almost be
  G#
carried by the breeze
                            D#
And let it take me where it goes

[Chorus]
                A#  
I can hear the bees buzzin'

through the walls
               G#   
  Making their honey
                    D#
and singing their song
            A#  
They say I work for

the queen all day
         G#                      D#
Yeah, I work for the queen all day
G#       D#          G#     D#
  Ohhhh...          Ohhhh...
G#       D#          G#     D#
  Ohhhh...          Ohhhh...

[Verse]

Now I'm standing on the front porch

Kettle whistling through the screen door
                 
  Little footsteps
  G#
on the kitchen floor
                        D#
Pretty soon we're gonna eat


Some things come right away

Some seem to take forever and a day
                   G#  
All I know is that it

worked out either way
                      D#
I think I found a family

[Chorus]
                A#  
I can hear the bees buzzin'

through the walls
               G#   
  Making their honey
                    D#
and singing their song
            A#  
They say I work for

the queen all day
         G#                      D#
Yeah, I work for the queen all day

[Chorus]
                A#  
I can hear the bees buzzin'

through the walls
               G#   
  Making their honey
                    D#
and singing their song
            A#  
They say I work for

the queen all day
         G#                      D#
Yeah, I work for the queen all day
G#       D#          G#     D#
  Ohhhh...          Ohhhh...
G#       D#          G#       D#~
  Ohhhh...          Ohhhh...

[Outro]
D# G# D#
D#  G#    D#~
