George Strait - Baby Blue

      Look at the end of the Tab for specific chord information. 

[Intro]

D   G   D5   G


[Verse 1]

            D              F#m                G              A
She looked so much like a lady, but she was so much like a child.
 F#m              Bm                 G               A
A devil when she held me close, an angel when she smiled.
D                    F#m               G               A
She always held it deep inside, but somehow I always knew
 F#m                     Bm                        G               D   
She'd go away when the grass turned green and the sky turned baby blue.


[Chorus]

          D  F#m           G           A   
And 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.


[Verse 2]

              D          F#m           G                A 
She brought colors to my life that my eyes had never touched.
     F#m                Bm              G             A
And when she taught me how to care, I never cared so much.
 D             F#m                G              A
I try not to think of her, but I fall asleep and do,
      F#m                 Bm                    G           D
And drift off where the grass is green and the sky is baby blue.


[Chorus]

          D  F#m           G           A   
And 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.


[Chorus]

(key change)

          Eb  Gm          Ab           Bb   
And baby blue----was the color of her eyes.
      Gm  Cm          Ab         Bb
Baby blue----like the Colorado skies.
         Cm  
Like a breath of spring, she came and left,
    Eb                  F#
And I still don't know why,
      Gm               Cm               Ab          Eb
So, here's to you and whoever holds my baby blue tonight.


Capo: 2nd Fret

There are a few parts of the song where the F#m should be
played with the A on the 1st string.
