Chords with lyrics
C majorC
On a weekend pass i wouldn't have had time
G7G7
To get home and marry that baby of mine
C majorC FF
So i went to the chaplain and he authorized
C majorC G7G7 C majorC
Me to send for my ebony eyes
FF C majorC
My ebony eyes was coming to me
FF C majorC G7G7
From out of the skies on flight twelve o three
C majorC FF
In an hour or two i would whisper i do
C majorC G7G7 C majorC
To my beautiful ebony eyes
The plane was way 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 and had to alter their course.
I went back outside and i 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 searching for
G7G7 C majorC
My eb-on-y eyes
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."
C majorC
Then i felt a burning break deep inside
G7G7
And i knew the heavenly ebony skies
C majorC FF
Had taken my life's most wonderful prize
C majorC G7G7 C majorC C7C7
My beautiful ebony eyes
FF C majorC
If i ever get to heaven i'll bet
FF C majorC
The first angel i'll recognize
FF C majorC
She'll smile at me and i know she will be
G7G7 C majorC
My beautiful ebony eyes
