Ebony eyes (intro) (midi)

E

1. On a weekend pass I wouldn't have had time

B7

to get home and marry that baby of mine.

E A

So I went to the Chaplin and he authorized

E B7 E - E7

me to send for my Ebony Eyes.

A E

My Ebony eyes was coming to me,

A E H7

from out of the skies of flight 1203.

E A

In an hour or two I would whisper, "I do!"

E B7 E

to my beautiful Ebony eyes.

(Spoken - E ) : The plane was overdue, so I went inside to the Airlines

desk and I said, "Sir, I wonder why 1203 is so late."

He said, "Oh, they probably took off late, or they may have run into some turbulent weather, had altered their course."

I went back outside and waited at the gate. And I watched the Beacon light from the control tower as it whipped through the dark ebony skies as if it were watching for my Ebony Eyes.

And then came the announcement over the loudspeaker:

"Would those having relatives or friends on flight number 1203 please report to the chapel across the street at once."

E

2. Then I felt the burning break deep inside,

B7

and I knew the heavenly Ebony skies

E A E B7 E

had taken my life's most wonderful prize, my beautiful Ebony Eyes.

A E A E B7

If I ever get to heaven, she'll be the first angel I recognise,

E A E B7 E

she'll smile at me and I know she'll be my beautiful Ebony Eyes.
