C E
I am a honey bee,
Am
Shunned off from the colony
F G C
and they won’t let me in

So I left the hive,
They took away all my stripes
and broke off both my wings

C E Am
So I’ll find another tree
F G C
and make the wind my friend
I’ll just sing with the birds
They’ll tell me secrets of the world*

Am G C
But my other honey bee
Stuck where he doesn’t wanna be*
But my darling, honey bee
F
I’ll come save you
Fm
Even if it means I’d have to face the queen

C E Am F G C
~ Pa da bum ba dam bum ba da bum pum bum ~

So I’ll come prepared,
My new friends said they would help me
get my loved one back

They say it isn’t right,
The bees have control of your mind,
but I choose not to believe that

C E Am
So we’ll meet in the darkness of the night,
F G C
and I promised I will be there on time
We’ll be guided by my new friends, the butterflies,
bring us back to our own little hive*

Am G C
Oh my other honey bee,
No longer stuck where he doesn’t wanna be*
Oh my darling, honey bee,
F
I have saved you
Fm
And now that you’re with me,

we can make our own honey

C E Am F G C
~ Oh Pa da bum ba dam bum ba da bum pum bum-/code
