[Verses]
Em         C#m7b5    F#7b9       B7
Lullaby of birdland, that's what I
Em9   Cmaj7  Am7     D7
Always hear when you sigh
Bm7          Em7
Never in my woodland
Am7             D#dim     G     Cmaj7
Could there be words to reveal
      Am6          B7
In a phrase how I feel
 
Em            C#m7b5    F#7b9   B7
Have you ever heard two turtle doves
Em9     Cmaj7 Am7       D7
Bill and coo when they love
Bm7                Em7
That's the kind of magic
Am7       D#dim         G      D7
Music we make with our lips
        G
When we kiss
 
Em            E7          Am      Am7
And there's a weepy ol' willow
D7        D#dim        G
He really knows how to cry
Em            E7        Am       Am7
That's how I cry in my pillow
D7             D#dim
If you should tell me
G             B7
Farewell and goodbye
 
Em         C#m7b5    F#7b9   B7
Lullaby of Birdland whisper low
Em9      Cmaj7  Am7       D7
Kiss me sweet, then we'll go
Bm7            Em7
Flying high in Birdland,
Am7          D#dim   G     Cmaj7
high in the sky up above
      Am6             B7
All because we're in love

Nice chords. The chords aren't straight forward and several versions don't sound quite right. Glad to have found this I normally go for Guitar Pro (You can download TuxGuitar free and play up to GP5 files with it. I don't believe it works with GPX (Guitar Pro 6) files.)

Nice job! I had to transpose to Cm for Ella's key and alter a couple of chords, but... nice job ~ thank you! :D

Lyric should be “Never in my wordland”. Very nice chords. Thanks!
