[Em7]/9 [Em7] [G/B] [A7] [Em7]/9 [Em7] [G/B] [A7]
Ev' - ry hon - ey bee fills with jeal - ous - y
[Em7] [Bb9] [A7]
When they see you out with me;
[Em7]/9 [Em7] [A7sus4] [A7]/9 [D] [D6] [D7] [G]
I don't blame them, good - ness knows,
[Bb7] [A7] [D] [A7] [D] [Fdim]
Hon - ey - suck - le rose.
[Em7]/9 [Em7] [G/B] [A7] [Em7]/9 [Em7] [G/B] [A7]
When you're pass - ing by, flow - ers droop and sigh,
[Em7] [G/B] [Bb9] [A7]
And I know the rea - son why;
[Em7]/9 [Em7] [A7sus4] [A7]/9 [D] [D6] [D7] [G]
You're much sweet - er, good - ness knows,
[Bb7] [A7] [D]
Hon - ey - suck - le rose.
Bridge:
[D7] [Gdim] [Fdim] [D7] [G6] Am7alt [Cdim] [G6]
Don't buy sug - ar -- you just have to touch my cup.
[E7] [Cdim] [Edim] [E7] [G/B] [Cdim] [A7]
You're my sug - ar; it's sweet when you stir it up.
[Em7]/9 [Em7] [G/B] [A7] [Em7]/9 [Em7] [G/B] [A7]
When I'm tak - in' sips from your tas - ty lips,
[Em7] [G/B] [Bb9] [A7]
Seems like hon - ey fairly drips;
[Em7]/9 [Em7] [A7sus4] [A7]/9 [D] [D6] [D7] [G]
You're con - fec - tion, good - ness knows,
[Bb7] [A7] [D] [D7] [G] [Gdim] [D] [A7+5] [D9]
Hon - ey - suck - le rose.
