Lullaby of Birdland
(George Shearing)


Em         Em6       F#7         H7
Lullaby of birdland, that's what I
Em       Cmaj7  Am7       D7
always hear     when you sigh
Hm7         Em7      Am7              D7            G C7
Never in my wordland could there be ways to reveal
           Am        H7
in a phrase  how I feel


Em            Em6       F#7      H7
Have you ever heard two turtle doves
Em        Cmaj7 Am         D7
bill and coo    when they love
Hm                 Em7   Am7        D7                G D7
That's the kind of magic music we make with our lips
             G
when we kiss

E7                        Am   Am7
And there's a weepy old willow,
D7                         G
he really knows how to cry
E7                         Am  Am7
That's how I'd cry on my pillow
D7                            G           H7
if you should tell me farewell and goodbye


Lullaby of birdland, whisper low,
kiss me sweet, and we'll go
Flying high in birdland high in the sky up above
All because we're in love

G D7       G     G6
~ we're in love
