If one were looking for another example of the "cycle of fifths/aka fourths" such as the one proffered by the noble Mr. Seed in a previous thread (Bill Baily) this could be it.

Mister(Bb)Sandman, (A7)bring me a dream
(D7)Make him the cutest that (G7)I've ever seen
(C7Give him two lips like (F7)roses and clover
(Bb)Then tell me that my lone-some (Bb)Sandman, (A7)I'm so alone
(D7)Don't have nobody to (G7)call my own
(Cm)Please (Cm7)turn on your magic (Ebm6)beam
(Ebm6)Mister (Bb)Sandman, (C9)bring me (F7)a (Bb)dream.

Mister Sandman, bring me a dream
Make him the cutest that I've ever seen
Give him the word that I'm not a rover
Then tell him that his lonesome nights are over.
Sandman, I'm so alone
Don't have nobody to call my own
Please turn on your magic beam
Mister Sandman, bring me a dream.
