Tupelo Honey

Chords & Lyrics, etc. · v1

Intro: Bb  Dm  Eb  Bb  (x2)

Bb         Dm                  Eb      Bb
You can take… all the tea in China
Bb       Dm                     Eb         F
Put it in a big brown… bag for me
Bb         Dm                  Eb      Bb
Sail right 'round… all the seven oceans
Bb         Dm                      Eb            F
Drop it straight into the deep blue sea

 

She's as sweet as Tupelo honey
She's an angel of the first degree
She's as sweet, she's as sweet as Tupelo honey
Just like honey, baby, from the bee

 

You can't stop us on the road to freedom
You can't keep us 'cause our eyes can see
Men with insight, men in granite
Knights in armor bent on chivalry

 

She's as sweet as Tupelo honey
She's an angel of the first degree
She's as sweet as Tupelo honey
Just like honey, baby, from the bee

 

(sax solo — Bb  Dm  Eb  Bb  /  Bb  Dm  Eb  F, repeat)

(guitar solo — same cycle)

 

You can't stop us on the road to freedom
You can't stop us 'cause our eyes can see
Men with insight, men in granite
Knights in armor intent on chivalry

 

She's as sweet as Tupelo honey
She's an angel of the first degree
She's as sweet as Tupelo honey
Just like honey, baby, from the bee

 

Bb   Dm   Eb   Bb  (x8, adlib — “oh, you know she's alright”, etc.)

 

You can take… all the tea in China
Put it in a big brown… bag for me
Sail it right 'round… all the seven oceans
Drop it smack dab in the middle of the deep blue sea, because

 

She's as sweet as Tupelo honey, yes, she is
She's an angel of the first degree
Oh, she's as sweet as Tupelo honey
Just like honey, baby, from the bee

 

Oh, she's as sweet as Tupelo honey
She's an angel, angel of the first degree
Oh, she's as sweet as Tupelo honey
Just like the real thing, oh, from the bee

 

Bb   Dm   Eb   Bb  (x8, fade — “you know she's alright”, etc.)
