Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

 ON A WEEKEND PASS, I WOULDN'T HAVE HAD TIME, TO GET HOME AND MARRY,

 THAT BABY OF MINE. SO I WENT TO THE CHAPLAIN, AND HE AUTHO-RIZED,

 ME TO SEND FOR MY EBONY EYES.

 MY EBONY EYES, WAS COMING TO ME, FROM OUT OF THE SKIES,

 ON FLIGHT TWELVE - O – THREE. IN AN HOUR OR TWO,

 I WOULD WHISPER: "I DO", TO MY BEAUTIFUL EBONY EYES.

THE PLANE WAS WAY OVER-DUE, 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

( Backing Vocals )

 EBONY SKIES AS IF IT WERE SEARCHING FOR, MY E - BO – NY EYES.

THEN CAME THE AN-NOUNCEMENT OVER THE LOUDSPEAKER:

  "WOULD THOSE HAVING RELATIVES OR FRIENDS ON FLIGHT NUMBER 1203,

 PLEASE RE-PORT TO THE CHAPEL ACROSS THE STREET AT ONCE".

 THEN I FELT A BURNING BREAK DEEP IN-SIDE, AND I KNEW THE HEAVENLY

 E- BO-NY SKIES. HAD TAKEN MY LIFE'S MOST WONDERFUL PRIZE,

 MY BEAUTIFUL E-BO-NY EYES.

 IF I EVER GET TO, HEAVEN I'LL BET, THE FIRST ANGEL I'LL RECOG-NIZE.

SHE'LL SMILE AT ME AND I KNOW SHE WILL BE,
