|C Bb F| 4x

C         Bb
Debonair lullabies
Bbsus2       C
In melodies revealed
C                Bb 
In deep despair on lonely nights
Bbsus2                C
He knows just how you feel
C                  Bb
The slyest rhymes, the sharpest suits
Bbsus2            C
In miracles made real

Am                    Bb
Like a bird in flight on a hot sweet night
Am                           Bb    F   Bb   C
You know you're right just to hold her tight
Am                   Bb
He soothes it right, makes it out of sight
F
And everything's good in the world tonight

     C            Bb F          C      Bb F
When Smokey sings,     I hear violins

     C            Bb F           C        Bb F
When Smokey sings,     I forget everything

          C
As she's packing her things
          Bb
As she's spreading her wings
          C
The front door might slam
         Bb
But the back door it rings
    C           Bb F     C    Bb F
And Smokey sings,   he sings

C           Bb
Elegance in eloquence
Bbsus2             C
For sale or rent or hire
C                   Bb
Should I say yes and match his best
Bsus2              C
Then I would be a liar
C                Bb       
Symphonies that soothe the rage
Bbsus2                    C
When lovers' hearts catch fire

Am                    Bb
Like a bird in flight on a hot sweet night
Am                           Bb   F   Bb  C
You know you're right just to hold her tight
Am                   Bb     
He soothes it right, makes it out of sight
F
And everything's good in the world tonight

When Smokey sings,     I hear violins

     C            Bb F           C        Bb F
When Smokey sings,     I forget everything

         C
As she's packing her things
         Bb
As she's spreading her wings
C  
Smashing the hell
         Bb
With the heaven she brings
     C           Bb F    C    Bb F
Then Smokey sings,   he sings

C                        Bb Bbsus2 C
Would it be true to say
C            Bbsus2
Luther croons
Bb                      C
Sly's the original originator
C     Bb
James screams
Bb                   C
Marvin was the only innovator
C    Bb                  Bbsus2
But nothing can compare, Nothing can compare
      C
