Baby Doll

Tabbed By: Jason Marbach (please email all questions to [email protected] **Note: don't be fooled during the chorus at the line "close your eyes", that minor you hear is the bass playing a minor note to start the progression, and in other places in the song, the bass will alternately play an "" and a "D" note in transition from (esp. in the verses), but the chords stay as I wrote it here...it's excellent musicianship (by Pat and his boys on the album), but the rhythm chords are as listed. You'll almost definitely have to listen to the song to understand the tab...it's easy, but complex...if that makes any sense... CAPO I Intro Tab: e|---------------------------| B|-3--1--0--1--0-------------| G|----------------2--0---0*--| D|---------------------4-----| (2x) A|---------------------------| E|---------------------------| * = let ring Intro: Verse 1: She stops and checks her reflection In a car parked on the corner She said "It's hell on me, This working down at the diner." Verse 2: Some people say, man, she was hot Back when she was younger Yeah, well she was a dancer When she lived in L.A. Chorus 1: She was someone's baby doll A beauty queen to someone long ago, From the midnight show, and if you Close your eyes, you hear the music playing You can see her dancing underneath the spotlight, and When she sleeps, she dreams she's back in Hollywood Back when all the world was young, (start of intro) And she was someone's baby doll Repeat Intro Verse 3: She stops and checks her reflection In the bathroom on her lunch break She says I still look good for Someone half of my real age Verse 4: Some people say "Man, I bet she Still makes love like an earthquake." Yeah, but man, she ain't easy She ain't lettin' you in, my friend, my friend Chorus 2: It's time to wake up, Baby Doll Put your best dress and your high heels on And dream you're gone, and when you Close your eyes, you hear the music playing You can see her dancing underneath the spotlight, and When she sleeps, she dreams she's back in Hollywood Back when all the world was young, (start of instrumental) And she was someone's baby doll Instrumental: Verse 5: She stops and calls an old friend From the payphone at the subway She says "I feel like I'm just sitting here Wasting my days away." Chorus 3: It's time to move on, Baby Doll And walk away just like you did before When you wanted more, and when you Close your eyes, you hear the music playing You can see her dancing underneath the spotlight, and When she sleeps, she dreams she's back in Hollywood When she was a younger girl A pretty heart in a tainted world Not sure who you wanna be Your Daddy's little drama queen I hope that when you find yourself, You're more than just a baby doll Outro:
