Verse 1
Well, (E flat major) the
Mockingbird,
Mockingbird, oh, (G minor)
(E flat major) Mockingbird,
The
Lord looked down and
he gave the word,
And the angels put the
song in the
Mockingbird.
When man was born,
he liked what he heard,
And sang to the
Lord with the
Mockingbird.
Sing it loud, hear me!
Well, he sang to the
Lord with the
Mockingbird,
Praise be!
And the good
Lord liked everything he heard (D major) (E flat major)
(D major) They took (G major) the tune and
(A minor) the word (G major) (E minor) s
Right (C major) from the (D major) mocking (E minor) birds
That's (C major) how a (B minor) song was born (G major)
(E flat major) An (D major) d then a (C major) soft evening
breeze (G major) (E minor)
Hummed through (B major) the willow (E minor) trees
That's how (C major) a song (D major) was born. (G major)
(C major) The (G major) tinkling (C major) rain (E minor) (C major) (E minor) from (C major) the
(E minor) sky became (C major) (B minor) a lullaby,
And the blues (E minor) must have
come (B minor) from aside. (A minor)
And when (C major) two hearts (G major) (C major) beat (A minor) in time,
(C major) (G major)
(C major) Bluebell (G major) (C major) s (B major) began to chime. (E minor)
That's how a (A minor) song
was (D major) born. (G major) (B flatdim)
(C major) They took a (G major) beat and made it reek
They took a beat and brought it down to
Basin
Street (C major) (G major)
(C major) Now we (F major) got it jumpin'
Satchmo, get on (E major) that (A minor) horn
Let's (F major) hear, let's hear,
let's hear how jazz was born (C major) (F major) (G major) (C major) (G major) (F major) (G major)
(C major) One, two, three, (B major) four
(D major) They (C sharp minor) took a (B major) reed, jungle beat,
(F sharp major) brought (B major) it (E flat major) to
Basin
(A flat minor) Street, and (C sharp minor) that's (A flat minor) how jazz (F sharp major) (A flat minor) was (C sharp minor) born.
(F sharp major) And then someone (B major) played a (E major) wail, (F sharp major) all up and (E flat major) down the (A flat minor) scale,
(B major) and (C sharp minor) that's how (E major) jazz (F sharp major) was (B major) born.
They simply (A flat minor) played what they liked,
as (E flat major) long as it would (E flat minor) fit.
If (A flat minor) it just had a beat, (B major) that was it.
And when a horn gave a scream, they (C sharp minor) took it as a theme, (A flat minor)
(B major) and (E major) that's how (B major) jazz was born. (C major) (F major) (E minor) (D major) (G major) (C major) (E minor)
(C major) (G major) (F major) (G major) (C major) (E minor) (C major)

(G major) (C major) (G major) (C major) (E major)
(C major) (G major) (F major) (G major) (C major) (E major) (C major) (F major) (C major)

(C major) (E minor) (C major)
(E major) so (A minor)
