[INTRO: ]
D G D G
VERSE 1:
D F#m/C#
She looked so much like a lady
G/B A
But she was so much like a child
F#m Bm
The devil when she held me close
G A
An angel when she smiled
D F#m/C#
She always held it deep inside
G A
But somehow I always knew
F#m Bm
She'd go away when the grass turned green
G D
And the sky turned Baby Blue
REFRAIN:
D F#m G A
Baby Blue was the color of her eyes
F#m Bm G A
Baby Blue, like the Colorado skies
Bm
Like a breath of Spring, she came and left
D E
And I still don't know why
F#m Bm G D
So, here's to you, and whoever holds my Baby Blue, tonight
REPEAT INTRO
VERSE 2:
She brought colors to my life
That my eyes had never touched
When she taught me how to care
I never cared so much
I try not to think of her
But I fall asleep and do
And drift off where the grass is green
And the sky is Baby Blue
REFRAIN
REFRAIN (up one half step)
