Key: G Intro: G Verse: G When I straighten out my eyes I see a pair of branches, C Just-a-swingin, I’m in between 'em. D G I got the feeling that something might be wrong. G C I wash off my face, and I find that there's a cigarette still burning. D G Behind my ear from I stashed it right before I dipped out. G Right before she said, she said that she wants to, said that she needs to, said that she has to. C D Well, she’s forgotten. She’s forgotten about it by now. G Just like surely she has forgotten about me by now.
Chorus: G C Baby, baby, it’s alright. D G It’s simple, but it’s true; it’s alright. G C Baby, baby, it’s alright. D G It’s forever gonna be true; it’s alright. Verse 2: G Well, I checked the cosmic forecast, and my future was looking bright, C So, I got to walking. That’s when I saw it. D This gal was selling six types of stone fruit, G And somehow they was all growing on one tree. G Oh my. So, I said, "Hey there lady, I’ll take a couple peaches, C And some cherries. They look mighty tasty. D G Say where the hell did you get that tree " G Some guy said that he grew it, said that grafted, said that he loved it, C D G But then he sold it. That old hill-billy sold it to me, for five magic beans! Chorus: G C Baby, baby, it’s alright. D G It’s simple, but it’s true; it’s alright. G C Baby, baby, it’s alright. D G It’s forever gonna be true; it’s alright. Verse 3: G After swinging at the park and listening in to several overly public, C Conversations, I went skating, D Over to the parking lot where I pulled out that, G Last-a-half-a-cigarette. G As I opened up the matchbook I formed a little grin, C 'Cause I found her number. D G She put it in my pocket as I bummed this smoke late last night. G Right before she said, she said that she wants to, said that she needs to, said that she has to. C D She must have figured, she must have figured out that I am dumb, G Especially when I’m faded! Yup! Chorus: G C Baby, baby, it’s alright. D G It’s simple, but it’s true; it’s alright. G C Baby, baby, it’s alright. D G It’s forever gonna be true; it’s alright.
