I've got so much honey the birds envy me
I've got a sweeter song (baby), than the birds and the bees


[Chorus]


now after this you have everything comes to a stop and it's back to the beginning with a
bass intro.

that also means the chords change too...

D G D

D G D
I've got all the riches, baby, one man can claim


[Chorus]

D Em G A
I guess you say,
D Em G A
What can make me feel this way?
D
My girl...
G A7
Talkin' 'bout my girl

...and thats about it. you'll have to listen to the song and play along with it for a
little while to get
comfortable with it but I think this will send you on your way. It may not be correct
but everything sounds right and fits.
