Bees
(Laura Cantrell)

				F			C
See the sign of the old hotel, we used to stay there
			G				C
Empty and threadbare, water running cold
				F			C
Searched the streets for old friends, met only strangers
			G				C
None who remember, none who would take me home

		Em			Am
I miss the bees, I miss the honey
		Dm				C
I miss them humming by the flowered vine
		Em			Am
My time is short now, I feel it coming
		Dm				C
I’ll see you darling in the morning light

				F				C
Spent an hour in the waiting room of our old headquarters
			G			C
None brought my orders I rode on alone
				F				C
With my portrait missing from their hall of honor
			G			C
No frame to claim me in silver black and gold

	Em				Am
Lost in the afternoon missing an hour or two
	Dm				C		G
Turn the crystal set never failed me yet
	Em				Am
No voice to say goodbye, tears on my face have dried
	Dm						C		G
I’ll be coming through on that wavelength a heart can tune

		Em			Am
I miss the bees, I miss the honey
		Dm				C
I miss them humming by the flowered vine
		Em			Am
My time is short now, I feel it coming
		Dm				C
I’ll see you darling in the morning light
