Capo 1

G

Baby, see how I been living

Am C

Velvet curtains on the windows to

G

Keep the bright and unforgiving

Am C

Light from shining through

G C

Baby, I remember all the things we did

G C

When we slept together and the blue behind your eyelids

Am C

Baby, sweet baby

Traced your scent through the gloom

'Til I found these purple flowers

I was spent, I was soon

Smelling you for hours

Lavender, lotus blossoms too

Water the dirt, flowers last for you

Baby, sweet baby

Tangerines and persimmons

And sugarcane

Grapes and honeydew melon

Enough fit for a queen

Lemon trees don't make a sound

'Til branches bend and fruit falls to the ground

Baby, sweet baby

Harmonica

Come to my world and witness

The way things have changed

'Cause I finally did it, baby

I got out of La Grange

Got in my Mercury and drove out west

Pedal to the metal and my luck to the test

Baby, sweet baby

I been tryin' to enjoy

All the fruits of my labor

I been cryin' for you boy

But truth is my savior

Baby, sweet baby if it's all the same

Take the glory and day over the fame

Baby, sweet baby
