You Baby

Key: GMedium

You Baby:The Turtles.

The album 'You Baby' in '66

didn''t make the top 100 charts. But if memory serves,

the single did.

#1.

GFrom the time I fall aBmsleep,

til the Cmorning comes,..I Ddream about..Gyou BmbabyC. D

And I Gfeel all Bmright,

cause I Cknow Dtonight I'll be with..Gyou Bmbaby.C G

BmAnd who makes me Amfeel like smiling,

when the Cweary day is Dthrough?

GYou Cbaby, Dyou..Cno one but Gyou, Cbaby..Dnobody but Gyou. (x2)

#2.

They say Gcandy is Bmsweet,

but it Cjust can't Dcompete with..Gyou Bmbaby.C D

You've got Geverything I Bmneed,

And Cnobody can Dplease like you Gdo, Bmbaby.C D

BmAnd who believes all my Amwildest dreams,

and my Ccraziest schemes will come Dtrue?

GA little ray of sunshine..CA little bit of Gsoul.

GAdd just a touch of magic..You got the Amgreatest Bmthing

since Crock 'n' Droll!
