ebony eyes Everly Brothers
[E]-- On a weekend pass I wouldn't have had time
To [B7]get home and marry that baby of mine
So I [E]went to the [E7]chaplain and [A]he authorized
Me to [E]send for my [B7]ebony [E]eyes[E7]
My [A]ebony eyes was [E]coming to me
From [A]out of the skies on [E]flight twelve - o - [B7]three
In an [E]hour or [E7]two I would [A]whisper "I do"
To my [E]beautiful [B7]ebony [E]eyes
-- spoken --
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
my [B7]eb -on - y [E]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."
[E]-- Then I felt a burning break deep inside
And I [B7]knew the heavenly ebony skies
Had [E]taken my life's most [A]wonderful prize
My [E]beautiful [B7]ebony [E]eyes[E7]
If [A]I ever get to [E]heaven I'll bet
The [A]first angel I'll recog[E]nize
[A]She'll smile at me and I [E]know she will be
My [B7]beautiful ebony [E]eyes
