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,
