Baby Guitar chords by Melanie Safka

Chords with lyrics

E7E7
Oh, have you heard the word
       E7E7
Our friend is gonna be a star
   A7A7
She's gonna get the chauffeur, yeah
     A7A7
And she's gonna get the car
     E7E7      A7A7
And she's gonna get the love of
  E7E7      A7A7
The people at the bar
     (knocks on body of guitar)
And she's gonna give birth to
     E7E7
A augmentedA baby guitar

  E7E7
Now rumor says our good friend
  E7E7
Has done some carrying on
  A7A7
And rumor says in public
     A7A7
She makes love to all her songs
  E7E7        A7A7
In front of the frustration
    E7E7      A7A7
Of the people at the bar
       (knocks on guitar)
She's got the nerve to mess around
      E7E7
With her guitar


    E7E7
It was sad to see the breakdown
    E7E7
Of the princess falling star
  A7A7
One day when she was doing all
  A7A7
The people at the bar
  E7E7      A7A7
She did a little don't, yeah
     E7E7        A7A7
And they pulled her head apart
  E7E7       A7A7
And neatly tucked away inside
  E7E7       A7A7
Her eyelid was the heart
       E7E7       A7A7
And they all looked at one another
       E7E7       A7A7
And said, "We knew it- there you are
 (knocks on guitar)
A augmentedA nameless, illegitimate
    E7E7
Baby guitar"


 E7E7
A augmentedA loving, loyal friend
     E7E7
Took the offspring as his own
   A7A7
And according to it's birthright
  A7A7
He built it a throne
    E7E7      A7A7
And now just like his mama
      E7E7      A7A7
He does the people at the bar
     E7E7      A7A7
And they look at one another and say,
   E7E7     A7A7
"He's gonna be a star"
  (knocks on guitar)
Remembering well the mother of
      E7E7
The baby guitar.
