Lullaby of Birdland
Words & Music by George David Weiss & George Shearing
Recorded by Mel Torme, 1963
Em C#m7-5 F#7-9 B7
Lullaby of birdland - that's what I
Em7 CM7 Am7 D9
Always hear when you sigh;
Bm7 Em7
Never in my word land
Am7 Cdim G C9 F#m7-5 B7
Could there be ways to reveal in a phrase how I feel.
Em C#m7-5 F#m7-9 B7
Have you ever heard two turtle doves
Em7 CM7 AM7 D9
Bill and coo when they love?
Bm7 Em7
That's the kind of magic
Am7 Cdim G D7 G G/F#
Music we make with our lips when we kiss.
Bridge:
E9 E7-9 Am Am7
And there's a weepy old willow -
D9 Cdim G G/F#
He really knows how to cry!
E9 E7-9 Am Am7
That's how I'd cry on my pillow
D9 Cdim G B7
If you should tell me farewell and good-bye.
Em C#m7-5 F#7-9 B7
Lullaby of birdland - whisper low,
Em7 CM7 Am7 D9
Kiss me sweet, and we'll go
Bm7 Em7
Flyin' high in birdland,
Am7 Cdim G C9 F#m7-5 B7
High in the sky up above all because we're in love.
Repeat Bridge:
Repeat last verse
Coda:
Am7 Cdim G
High in the sky up above
Am7 D9 Cdim G C9 Am7 G#7 G
All because we're- in - love.
