The Bees chords by Lee Ann Womack

Capo 1

Intro: D

D
I've been looking for a sweeter side

Looking for a big bloom on a short vine
                G
Looking for a better way of life
                           D
Somewhere that I can call home

D
Spent my time at a peach stand

Sun beatin' like a stinging red tan
                 G
Like the back of my daddy's hand
                           D
The only thing I've ever known

                A
I can hear the bees buzzin' through the walls
               D
Making their honey and singing their song
            A
They say I work for the queen all day
         D
Yeah, I work for the queen all day
D
  Ohhhh...          Ohhhh...

Sometimes it's a bitter taste
For a motherless child so out of place
I never understood why she ran away
Maybe I'll never know

But there's a light shinin' through the trees
And a restless hum that's calling me
I could almost be carried by the breeze
And let it take me where it goes
                A
I can hear the bees buzzin' through the walls
               D
Making their honey and singing their song
            A
They say I work for the queen all day
         D
Yeah, I work for the queen all day
D
  Ohhhh...          Ohhhh...
D
  Ohhhh...          Ohhhh...

Now I'm standing on the front porch
Kettle whistling through the screen door
Little footsteps on the kitchen floor
Pretty soon we're gonna eat

Some things come right away
Some seem to take forever and a day
All I know is that it worked out either way
I think I found a family


                A
I can hear the bees buzzin' through the walls
               D
Making their honey and singing their song
            A
They say I work for the queen all day
         D
Yeah, I work for the queen all day
                A
I can hear the bees buzzin' through the walls
               D
Making their honey and singing their song
            A
They say I work for the queen all day
         D
Yeah, I work for the queen all day
D
  Ohhhh...          Ohhhh...
D
