BERNIE'S TUNE
By: Mike Stoller & Bernie Lieber
Jerry Mulligan, Chet Baker
Key: F
-7  7*  -7  -7  7*  -7
In the park in the dark,
-3 -5   -6   -7   7*
Un-der-neath the moon,
  7  -6* 7   7 -6* 7
Heard a boy and a girl
-3   5*   6    7    -6
Hum-min' Ber-nie's tune.
 -7  7*  -7    -7   7*   -7
Went to sleep Count-in' sheep
-3 -5 -6  -7 7*6
By a blue la-goon
  7  -6*  7  7 -6* 7
Heard a frog on a log
 -3   5*   6   7    -6-5
Croak-in' Ber-nie's tune
-3* -3*  7 -6 -5   5   -5 
It's so eas-y to whist-le
-3* -3*  7 -6 -5  5
It's so eas-y to sing,
-3*-3* 7   -6   -5    5  -5
Ev-en hum-ming-birds hum it
 -7  -7    -7
It's the thing.
-7  7*    -7    -7 7*  -7
Of-fice clerks, So-da jerks
  -3   -5 -6 -7  7*
Picked it up so soon
 7   -6*   7   7 -6*    7
Mil-lion-aires ev-en squares
 -3   5*  6    7   -6-5
Whis-tle Ber-nie's tune.
In the park 
In the dark
Crazy as a loon
In the trees
Skillfully
Swingin' Bernie's tune
Little kids
Go to school
Swingin Bernie's tune
Swingin' chicks
Get their kicks
Doin' Bernie's tune
You don't have to read music
You don't have to be smart
Bernie says you can swing it
From the heart
So if you happen to get an urge to croon
 7  -6* 7    7  -6*  7 
Take a tip, man get hip, 
 -7  -7 -7  -7     -9
make it Be-rnie's tune
