Life is dull 
F6               F 
It's nothing but one big lull 
                Dm 
Then presto you do a skull 
                     Cm7     Cº 
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       Aº         G13 
And your heart goes: "Ring-a-ding ding 
        C9                        E13-  D7(5+)  Abº 
Ring-a-ding ding, ring-a-ding ding"

             Cm7  Cº 
Without any warning 
      F13         Bb7M 
Don't know if its morning 
Eb9                    A13   A7(5+)  D9 
Night-time, winter or spring 
D9         Aº         G13 
What's the difference Ring-a-ding ding 
        C9                       Ab13  G13  Gb13 
Ring-a-ding ding, ring-a-ding ding
