Blake Shelton - The Baby

From "The Dreamer"
(Harley Allen, Michael White)

Capo: 2nd Fret

[D] My [D/F#]brother [G]said that I [A]was rotten to the [D]core
[D] I [D/F#]was the [G]youngest child, [D/F#] [Em7]so I got by with [A]more
[D] I guess [D/F#]she was [G]tired by [A]the time I came a[D]long
[D] She'd [D/F#]laugh un[G]til she cried, [D/F#] [Em7]I could do no [A]wrong
[Em7]She would always save me [A] because I was her [D]baby

CHORUS #1:
I worked a [Bm]factory in Ohio, a [G]shrimp boat in the Bayou
[D]I drove a truck in Birming[A]ham
Turned 2[Bm]1 in Cincinnati, I [G]called home to mom and daddy
[D]I said "Your boy is now a [A]man."
She said "I [Em7]don't care if you're 80, [A] you'll always be my [D]baby."

[D] She [D/F#]loved that [G]photograph [A] of our whole fami[D]ly
[D] She'd [D/F#]always [G]point us out [D/F#] [Em7]for all her friends to [A]see
[D] That's [D/F#]Greg he's [G]doing great [A] he really loves his [D]job
[D] And [D/F#]Ronnie with [G]his 2 kids [D/F#] [Em7]how 'bout that wife he's [A]got
And [Em7]that one's kinda crazy [A] but that one is my [D] baby

CHORUS #2:
I got a [Bm]call in Alabama, said come on [G]home to Louisiana 
[D] And come as fast as you can [A]fly
Cause your [Bm]momma really needs you, and [G]says she's got to see you
[D]She might not make it through the [A]night
The [Em7]whole way I drove 80 [A] so she could see her [D]baby

CHORUS #3:
She [Bm]looked like she was sleepin' and my [G]family had been weepin' 
[D] By the time that I got to her [A]side
And I [Bm]knew that she'd been taken and my [G]heart it was breakin'
I [D]never got to say good[A]bye
I [Em7]softly kissed that lady [A] and cried just like a baby [D]
