Baby Guitar chords by Melanie Safka

E7
Oh, have you heard the word
              E7
Our friend is gonna be a star
      A7
She's gonna get the chauffeur, yeah
          A7
And she's gonna get the car
          E7            A7
And she's gonna get the love of
    E7            A7
The people at the bar
         (knocks on body of guitar)
And she's gonna give birth to
          E7
A baby guitar

    E7
Now rumor says our good friend
    E7
Has done some carrying on
    A7
And rumor says in public
          A7
She makes love to all her songs
   E7               A7
In front of the frustration
       E7            A7
Of the people at the bar
             (knocks on guitar)
She's got the nerve to mess around
            E7
With her guitar


       E7
It was sad to see the breakdown
       E7
Of the princess falling star
    A7
One day when she was doing all
    A7
The people at the bar
    E7           A7
She did a little don't, yeah
         E7               A7
And they pulled her head apart
    E7             A7
And neatly tucked away inside
    E7             A7
Her eyelid was the heart
             E7             A7
And they all looked at one another
              E7             A7
And said, "We knew it- there you are
 (knocks on guitar)
A nameless, illegitimate
        E7
Baby guitar"


  E7
A loving, loyal friend
         E7
Took the offspring as his own
      A7
And according to it's birthright
   A7
He built it a throne
        E7            A7
And now just like his mama
            E7            A7
He does the people at the bar
         E7           A7
And they look at one another and say,
      E7         A7
"He's gonna be a star"
    (knocks on guitar)
Remembering well the mother of
            E7
The baby guitar.
