[F] [Fm] [C] [Ab] [Bbm]
[Fm] [F]
In a [Bb] mellow [D] tone, you make it [Bbm] easy every day
Play a [Ab] melody, and life is easy every way
In a mellow tone, pretty soon [Bb] that's where you'll [Ab] go
In a mellow key, pretty [Db] soon you'll hear, pretty soon you'll hear
An a mellow [Fm] style, and when [E] you sing
[Bb] A joy [Fm] to hear, your heart will make [Dm] it swing
Life's a [Eb] [D] melody, just [Fm]
listen
Sing it [Eb] with your [Bbm] lips, and not swing it, not swing it
Well in a mellow [E] tone, [Ab] you wanna keep [Bbm] it soft and low
There's a [Ab] mellow glow, you need it all around you know
A kind [Gb] of mellow moan, pretty [C] soon you're living on [Fm] that
Sort [Ab] of in that, pretty days ahead, [Db] pretty skies above
A song of love, I'm talking about
Love [Ab] [N] of love, I'm talking about
[F] Love of love, a [Fm] melody
I'm talking [E] about [Bb] living, [Bbm] in a mellow [Fm] [G] tone
[Gm] [F]
[Gm] [Bb] Melody, [Bbm] melody, [Ab] oh melody
Whatever [C]
[Ebm] you say you do, try [C]
to [Db] celebrate
[Ab] Melody, melody, oh [Bbm] [Fm] yeah
A melody [Db] sure is safe, and nothing hurts [Bb] sweeter than a song
For every single [Abm] little thing [C] in the [Ebm] air, [F] is another little [D] sure to say
Life is a melody, and life is a rhythm, pretty soon [G] you'll hear
Your sense in thrumming up the tempo
[Bb] But if you really wanna draw a crowd
[Bbm]
Wow, [Ab] [Bbm] [Ab] the moving and [C] humming and yelling that's [Ebm] we're meant to say
Later when you look back and [Gb] think of what you said
Never mean it, [Bbm] never
Then you [Db] realize what you're talking about today
Every little flower got a sweet ass show
[F] Listen, mommy, I'm a lemme [Ab] hear you grow
Everything [Gb] I'm gonna put in line is what is waiting [F] in
Everybody [Fm] listen, everybody gonna [G] dig
[Ab] Everybody listen, everybody gonna dig
You dig [E] what's happened to me, if you pray
Now [Db] they listen [E] [Ab] to [Gm] me
So when we see another, [Ab] when we see a breath
Just right [Ebm] here
Say [Eb] it mellow when people will listen
[Bbm] And more sweet and low, [Ab] the longer the road, you know
[Db] [Fm] Each sound anybody [Db] puttin' down
Gotta be their [Gm] very [Fm] own in a mellow [G] tone
[E] Light and [F] fluffy as a cloud, never very [D] loud
But do your singing sweet and mellow, so the mellow, mellow, mellow
When you're [G] really gonna see
[Eb] Everything you [Bb] sing and everything you do is gonna hang around a little while
Because it really is true, if I ever get through
I know I do, [Bbm] so do you, I never worry a minute
Cause I know, don't you [Ab] know, the blues [G] are multicolored
All depending [Cm] on your day, and then depending [Ab] on your outlook
Well, let me see you wearing [Gb] blues
Sad blues, bad [Fm] blues, false blues, all kinds of blues
Plenty of different kinds of hues, [Db] yeah, sure
All the blues that we know is in the club
A song of [Abm] love
[Db] Yeah, [D] a song of love
A [Fm] love of love
Yeah, [Abm] [Dm] a [F] love of love
We're [Bb] singing a song
We're [Bbm] singing a mellow, a slow tone

[E] [D] Sing
[G] [Dbm] [Db] with a mellow
[Ab] [C] [Ab] That's the choice, that's the voice [Eb] that you're
[Db] hearing
When you're in the [Ab] mood, for a melody, with another [Bb] [F] tune
[E] [Fm] Sing it
[Db] [D] [Eb] Just don't holler [Db] out [Cm]
loud
[Ab] The song [Bb] may be [Bbm] [Eb] lazy
[Fm] Make you crazy
[Eb] [Db] Move [Ab] up, relax, [F] and [Db] turn the song around
Just give it a shot
[Bb] A [Fm] little chat on the [Bb] spot
[A] Just take it [Bb] easy
A feeling, [Bbm]

[F] [Bb]
Just a touch [Ab] of glow, the lights are low, the night is mellow
[C] A [Fm] song of love in a mellow
A [E] [Eb] love [E] song [Db] of love in a mellow
[Fm] [Db] No reason to be in a [D] mellow tone
[Ab] A [Eb] scream [Fm] without [C] the tone [F] of your heart
