She had a heart full of love

For her baby, for life, and James Taylor
F C Am
She nursed her baby, and she closed her eyes
D7 G
She was a cowgirl, truck driver, and sailor
C G C
In her mind, she wasn't abandoned
F C
Though the baby was all that she had
F C Am
She was lonely at night when the babe was asleep
D G C
But when singin', it wasn't so bad
[Chorus]
F C
And she sang "Sweet Baby James"
F C
And she flew o'er the turnpikes, the mountain, and sea
F C
And she looked to the skies, where hеaven should be

Said, "Could it be thеre's no heaven for me?
C Am
The only difference in my life and hell are the flames"

D G
And was so little carry-home pay
C G C
But she'd take her own flights of fancy
F C
Each time she found herself alone
F C Am
She'd get on her dream song, and she'd sail away
D G C
With her baby to find that new home
[Chorus]
F C
And she sang "Sweet Baby James"
F C
And she flew o'er the turnpikes, the mountain, and sea
F C
And she looked to the skies, where hеaven should be
G
Said, "Could it be thеre's no heaven for me?
C Am
The only difference in my life and hell are the flames"
F G C
So she sang "Sweet Baby James"
[Outro]
G C Am
"The only difference in my life and hell are the flames"
