Chords
	 
[Verse]
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
[Verse]
G
Traced your scent through the gloom
Am C
'Til I found these purple flowers
G
I was spent, I was soon
Am C
Smelling you for hours
G C
Lavender, lotus blossoms too
G C
Water the dirt, flowers last for you
Am C
Baby, sweet baby
[Verse]
G
Tangerines and persimmons
Am C
And sugarcane
G
Grapes and honeydew melon
Am C
Enough fit for a queen
G C
Lemon trees don't make a sound
G C
'Til branches bend and fruit falls to the ground
Am C
Baby, sweet baby
Harmonica
[Verse]
G
Come to my world and witness
Am C
The way things have changed
G
'Cause I finally did it, baby
Am C
I got out of La Grange
G C
Got in my Mercury and drove out west
G C
Pedal to the metal and my luck to the test
Am C
Baby, sweet baby
[Verse]
G
I been tryin' to enjoy
Am C
All the fruits of my labor
G
I been cryin' for you boy
Am C
But truth is my savior
G C
Baby, sweet baby if it's all the same
G C
Take the glory any day over the fame
Am C
Baby, sweet baby
