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
[Strophe]
              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
[Strophe]
         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

        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
[Strophe]
       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
