<Medium Up Swing>

I'mFM7sittin' here just thinkin' about BudBm7-5--Bb7--

AAm7man a magical inspi-D7(b9)ration

There'sGm7nothing in life I could nameBbm7--Eb7--

LikeDm7Paris with Bud in the rainG7--G#dim7--

TheAm7man who reallyD7tought us how toGm7play bebop pi-Db7anoC7

B7Nothing will Bb7e-A7verAb7beDbM7theC7(#5)same

NowFM7some folks think that Bud is a beerBm7-5--Bb7--

IAm7hear ridiculous alle-D7(b9)gations

ButGm7Bud was a man with a heartBbm7--Eb7--

ThoughDm7pain tried to tear him apartG7--G#dim7--

AAm7genius and a D7soul who gave us s-Gm7pecial inspi-Db7rationC7

SoFM7take a tip and listen to BudBm7-5--Bb7--

UpAm7there on a cloud just like aD7(b9)Buddha

AndGm7let yourself sing with your heartBbm7--Eb7--
