John Prine .....The Oldest Baby In The World

Intro:(C)

(C)She's got the mind of a child

And a b(F)ody peaking over the h(C)ill

Well, she would if she could

And she s(D7)hould but nobody w(G)ill (G7)

With her n(F)ails painted red

And her hair so unnaturally cu(C)rled (C/B) (Am)

Well I th(F)ink that she may be

The o(G)ldest baby in the wo(C)rld

(C)She's tasted the night life

But it's l(F)eft her with nothing but hu(C)nger

And all the available men

Seem to t(D7)hink that they want something you(G)nger (G7)

But y(F)outh is a costume

And the beauty within lies unf(C)urled (C/B) (Am)

And I th(F)ink that she may be

The ol(G)dest baby in the w(C)orld (C7)

Fast h(F)orses win races

And royal flushes beat aces

And everyone's playing to k(C)eep

So let's t(D7)urn out the lights

And rock that old baby to sl(G)eep (C) (G)

She loves the so(C)und of the rain

But you k(F)now she's still afraid of the th(C)under

(C)She keeps a head full of hope

And a he(D7)art that's so full of wo(G)nder (G7)

She may l(F)ook like a woman

But she's still some daddy's little g(C)irl (C/B) (Am)

And I th(F)ink that she may be

The ol(G)dest baby in the wo(C)rld (C/B) (Am)

Yes, I t(F)hink that she may be

The ol(G)dest baby in the wo(C)rld (F) (C) (G) (C)
