Your Bright Baby Blues by Jackson Browne
Your Bright Baby Blues
Tune Down 1/2 Step
Verse I:
G C
I'm sitting down by the highway
G C G
Down by that highway side.
C
Everybody's going somewhere
G C G
Riding just as fast as they can ride.
D
I guess they've got a lot to do
Em C C D
Before they can rest assured their lives
C
Are justified.
G
Pray to God for me, Baby
C G D
He can let me slide.
Verse II:
G C
Cause I've been up and down this highway
G C G
Far as my eyes can see.
C
No matter how fast I run
G C G
I can never seem to get away from me.
D
No matter where I am
Em C G
I can't help feeling I'm just a day away
D C
From where I want to be.
G C
Now, I'm running home, Baby
G D
Like a river to the sea.
Refrain:
G
Baby, if you can see me
C
Out across this wilderness
G
There's just one thing
D
I was hoping you might guess.
Em
Baby, you can free me
D C/D G D
All in the power of your sweet tenderness.
Yeah, yeah!!
Chorus:
G
I can see it in your eyes
C G C G
You've got those bright, baby blues.
C
You don't see what you've got to gain
G C G
But you don't like to lose.
D
You watch yourself from the sidelines
Em C G
Like your life was a game you don't mind playing
D C
To keep yourself amused.
G
I don't mean to be cruel, Baby
C G D
But you're looking confused.
Refrain II:
Baby, if you can hear me
Turn down your radio.
There's just one thing
I want you to know.
When you've been near me
I felt the love stirring in my soul
Yeah, Yeah!! Yes I have!!
Break:
G C G C G C G C G D Em C G D C
G C G D
Verse III:
G C G C G
It's so hard to come by that feeling of peace.
(spoken) This friend of mine said
G C G
"Close your eyes, try a few of these."
D
I thought I was flying like a bird
Em
So far above my sorrow
G
But when I looked down
D C
I was standing on my knees.
G C
Now, I need someone to help me
G D
Someone to help me, please.
Final Refrain:
G
Baby, if you need me
C
Like I know I need you.
G
There's just one thing
D
I'll ask you to do
Em
Take my hand and lead me
D C C/D
To the hole in your garden wall
G C G
And pull me through.
C G
Pull me through....
