Ebony Eyes Teclado

	  
C 
On a weekend pass i wouldn't have had time 
   G7 
To get home and marry that baby of mine 
     C                        F 
So i went to the chaplain and he authorized 
      C           G7    C 
Me to send for my ebony eyes 

   F              C 
My ebony eyes was coming to me 
     F                   C               G7 
From out of the skies on flight twelve o three 
      C                   F 
In an hour or two i would whisper i do 
      C         G7    C 
To my beautiful ebony eyes 

The plane was way overdue so i went inside to the airlines 
Desk and i said sir i wonder why 1203 is so late.  he said 
Oh they probably took off late or they may have run into 
Some turbulent weather and had to alter their course. 

I went back outside and i waited at the gate and i watched the 
Beacon light from the control tower as it whipped through the 
Dark ebony skies as if it were searching for 
   G7      C 
My eb-on-y eyes 

Then came the announcement over the loudspeaker "would 
Those having relatives or friends on flight number 1203 please 
Report to the chapel across the street at once." 

C 
Then i felt a burning break deep inside 
      G7 
And i knew the heavenly ebony skies 
    C                    F 
Had taken my life's most wonderful prize 
   C         G7    C     C7 
My beautiful ebony eyes 

   F             C 
If i ever get to heaven i'll bet 
    F                     C 
The first angel i'll recognize 
F                        C 
She'll smile at me and i know she will be 
   G7              C 
My beautiful ebony eyes
