Life is dull
F6               F
It's nothing but one big lull
                Dm
Then presto you do a skull
                     Cm7     C°
And find that you're reeling
     F13             Bb7M
She sighs and you're feeling
Eb9              A13   A7(5+)  D9
Like a toy on a string
D9       A°         G13
And your heart goes: "Ring-a-ding 
ding
        C9                        
Ring-a-ding ding, ring-a-ding

How could that funny face
F6                F
That seemed to be common place
                  Dm
Project you right into space
             Cm7  Cº
Without any warning
      F13         Bb7M
Don't know if its morning
Eb9                    A13   
Night-time, winter or spring
A7(5+)  D9

D9         Aº         G13
What's the difference Ring-a-ding 
ding
        C9                       
Ring-a-ding ding, ring-a-ding
