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


   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
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
