The Baby Tree by Jefferson Starship
The Baby Tree
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
[Verse 1]
E C#m B
There's an island way out in the sea
E C#m B
Where the babies they all grow on trees
A
And its jolly good fun
E
To swing in the sun
B E C#m
But you gotta watch out if you sneeze-sneeze
B E
You gotta watch out if you sneeze
[Verse 2]
E C#m B
Yeah you gotta watch out if you sneeze
E C#m B
For swingin' up there in the breeze
A
You're liable to cough
E
You might very well fall off
B E C#m
And tumble down flop on your knees-knees
B E
Tumble down flop on your knees
[Verse 3]
E C#m B
And when the stormy winds wail
E C#m B
And the breezes blow high in a gale
A E
There's a furious dropping and flopping and plopping
B E C#m
And fat little babies just hail-hail
B E
fat little babies just hail
[Verse 4]
E C#m B
And the babies lie there in a pile
E C#m B
And the adults they come after awhile
A
And they always pass by
E
All the babies that cry
B E C#m
And take only babies that smile-smile
B E
They take only babies that smile...
B E
Even triplets and twins if they'll smile

version 2
Capo:no capo
To get the transitions, just stick to the Bb Maj key (Bb C D Eb F G A), so the
transition from
Bb to G is Bb Bb C D G, and the transition from C to Bb is C F G A Bb. For
the quick notes in the
transitions, just play the root note. You can ignore all the quick stuff and
just play the standalone chords
and it sounds fine for beginner level.
