The Bees

[Intro]
A#

[Verse]
A#  
I've been looking

for a sweeter side

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

[Verse]

Spent my time at a peach stand

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

[Chorus]
                F  
I can hear the bees buzzin'

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

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

[Verse]

Sometimes it's a bitter taste

For a motherless child so out of place
                   
  I never understood
  D#
why she ran away
                 A#
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
  D#
carried by the breeze
                            A#
And let it take me where it goes

[Chorus]
                F  
I can hear the bees buzzin'

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

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

[Verse]

Now I'm standing on the front porch

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


Some things come right away

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

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

[Chorus]
                F  
I can hear the bees buzzin'

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

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

[Chorus]
                F  
I can hear the bees buzzin'

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

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

[Outro]
A# D# A#
A#  D#    A#~
