[Verse 3]
                                          C
Now late last night a saw hole in the sky above me
           D                                C    G
and it was sucking on my dreams up into the graveyard
                                            C
I held on tight cos I knew my honey bee she loved me
      D                              C       G
I say good bye bye to my blues and I turn it around, oh yes!


[Chorus]
C                     D              G
Baby I would give you all the tea in china
