Here's my interpretation of Baby Blue as performed by

George Strait on Strait Out of the Box.

Tom Hamilton

Indianapolis, IN

Baby Blue

Using the chords shown, capo at 2nd fret to match recording

G* chord xx0433

D* chord xx0775

INTRO:

D G* D* G*

VERSE 1:

D F#m/C#

She looked so much like a lady

G/B A

But she was so much like a child

F#m Bm

The devil when she held me close

G A

An angel when she smiled

D F#m/C#

She always held it deep inside

G A

But somehow I always knew

F#m Bm

She'd go away when the grass turned green

G D

And the sky turned Baby Blue

REFRAIN:

D F#m G A

Baby Blue was the color of her eyes

F#m Bm G A

Baby Blue, like the Colorado skies

Bm

Like a breath of Spring, she came and left

D E

And I still don't know why

F#m Bm G D

So, here's to you, and whoever holds my Baby Blue, tonight

REPEAT INTRO

VERSE 2:

She brought colors to my life

That my eyes had never touched

When she taught me how to care

I never cared so much

I try not to think of her

But I fall asleep and do

And drift off where the grass is green

And the sky is Baby Blue
