[Verse]
Em   A6    Am/D
 She was a working girl
Cm                G
 North of England way
Em        A6      Am/D
Now she's hit the big time
Cm          G
 In the U.S.A.
    A7
And if she could only hear me
D7
This is what I'd say
 
 
[Chorus]
G                            Eb7
Honey pie, you are making me crazy
E7                  A7
I'm in love but I'm lazy
D7                       G        Eb7   D7
So won't you please come home
 
   G                         Eb7
Oh honey pie, my position is tragic
E7                   A7
Come and show me the magic
D7                G       F#  F
of your Hollywood song
 
Em           C#m7b5        G              G7
You became a legend of the silver screen
            C
And now the thought of meeting you
E7                   Am        D7
Makes me weak in the knee
 
   G                             Eb7
Oh honey pie, you are driving me frantic
E7                A7
Sail across the Atlantic
D7                G           Eb7      D7
To be where you belong, honey pie come back to me
 
 
[Instrumental] (same as verse)

[Verse]
G                                   Eb7
    I like this kind of hot kind of music
E7
Hot kind of music
A7
Just play it to me
D7                      G       F#  F
Play it to me Hollywood Blues
 
Em                 C#m7b5
Will the wind that blew her boat
 G              G7
Across the sea
C               E7              Am    D7
Kindly send her sailing back to me
 
 
[Chorus]
G                            Eb7
Honey pie, you are making me crazy
E7                  A7
I'm in love but I'm lazy

I thought this was pretty much right on. Nice job. I gave it a Five. KK.

Oops, I misnamed that chord. The second chord in the bridge (x4545x) is a C#7b5, also called a C# half diminished. Very common in jazz. Another (and more common) position to play it would be 9x998x.

The bridge is wrong. The second chord should be C#dim (x4545x), not Cm7. Otherwise, sounds good. This video shows how to play the intro nicely: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xrgls4KD-8
