Max Stalling - Bathwater Baby guitar chord
"Bathwater Baby"
by, Max Stalling
from the CD, "Comfort in the Curves"
key of G#
note: CD sounds like the guitar is capoed at the 1st fret
and played with standard G chord forms. However, the
chords transcribed here are actual.
Intro: (play twice) (C#)(G#/C)(Bm)(D#/G)(G#)
1st verse:
(G#) I saw you go down with your heart aflame
I ran for water but grabbed (G#7) kerosene
Now, (C#) oh my goodness, despite my efforts
What a (G#) blazing mess
2nd verse:
(G#) I climbed in bed with my frozen feet
You felt something and threw (G#7) back the sheets
So (C#) there I'm lying, so there your crying, how (G#) unfortunate
But (D#/G) aw, through it (C#) all the truth was I loved you (G#) best
chours:
(C#) Now you're holding something better
And now I'm holding old love letters and (G#) new regrets
The (C#) irony is just so glaring
Cause now I've got this torch to carry and it (G#) burns you bet
(D#/G) But aw, through it (C#) all the truth was I (G#) loved you best
Instrumental: same chords as intro only with a little Dobro mixed in.
Repete chours:
3rd verse:
(C#) Now toothpast and tube, it's just (G#/C) one of the views I (Bm) have
about me and you (G#) lately
(#C) It's cliche I know but seems (G#/C) apropos, if the (Bm) shoe fits well
I figure (G#) say it
(C#) I know it's a fact that I (G#/C) over reacted, (Bm) sometimes my
passions (G#) betray me
(C#) The changes I made as I (G#/C) tried to come clean; (Bm) you were my
bath water (G#) baby
Another Instrumental: this time with Dobro as lead instrument.
4th verse:
(C#) Now I did all the squeezing
And now I've got this real bad feeling that I (G#) made this mess
(C#) I did all the plug pulling
And now I'm high and dry, no fooling, it's my (G#) fault I guess
But (D#/G) aw, through it (C#) all, the truth was I (G#) loved you best
(D#/G) Aw, through it (C#) all the truth was
(D#/G) Aw, don't you (C#) know the truth was
(D#/G) Aw, don't you (C#) know I loved you (G#) best
(C#) You were my (Bm) bath water (G#) baby.
