Standard (EADGBE)

 See the sign of the old hotel, we used to stay there

 Empty and threadbare, water running cold

 Searched the streets for old friends, met only strangers

 None who remember, none who would take me home

 I miss the bees, I miss the honey

 I miss them humming by the flowered vine

 My time is short now, I feel it coming

 I’ll see you darling in the morning light

 Spent an hour in the waiting room of our old headquarters

 None brought my orders I rode on alone

 With my portrait missing from their hall of honor

 No frame to claim me in silver black and gold

 Lost in the afternoon missing an hour or two

 Turn the crystal set never failed me yet

 No voice to say goodbye, tears on my face have dried

 I’ll be coming through on that wavelength a heart can tune

 I miss the bees, I miss the honey

 I miss them humming by the flowered vine

 My time is short now, I feel it coming

 I’ll see you darling in the morning light

 No voice to say goodbye, tears on my face have dried

 I’ll be coming through on that wavelength a heart can tune

 I miss the bees, I miss the honey

 I miss them humming by the flowered vine

 My time is short now, I feel it coming

 I’ll see you darling in the morning light
